I own an IBM Thinkpad T21. I installed Red Hat 7.3, Red Hat 8.0 & SuSE 8.0 on it -- all three installations were the easiest Linux installations I did -- the only thing I had to do was press "next" "next" "next" and that's it. All the hardware was auto-detected, everything works great -- video, sound, DVD, network, modem. Everything. The only thing I never did was make the Ultrabay work (the DVD is hot swappable with a floppy drive, and I think a module needs to be installed for the hot swapping to work correctly), but I think it's supported, as IBM is a supporter of Linux. All Thinkpads come with bundled Microsoft OSs (W2K/WinXP) and an installation CD containing the OS and drivers. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
