I did a Thinkpad A21e with no problems. As long as one knows the exact hardware, and the hardware is supported, there should be no major problems. It took me a while to get the winmodem working and also my Intel Pro/2011 wireless NIC. I tried Redhat 8 and Redhat 9 but they were sooooo slooow. Debian rocks on my laptop. Love it. Andy
