Sure. I'm typing this on a Thinkpad T41p (bought used on ebay.de
1.5 years ago), using the local wavelan at a conference. ipw(4)
works fine if you read 'man ipw' and pkg_add the firmware described
in the man page. On the whole I'm happy

After taking a couple Installer CD's, eg. Backtrack, Xubuntu, OpenBSD
and FreeBSD to the Computer Market, i ended up purchasing an Asus F8NSV
; great Unit, put in 4GB of Ram, 250GB Drive. The spec is pretty
awesome, paid converted ~800EUR for it, very happy since its like half
priced of the Mac

How were either of you able to get one without the Windows tax?
EU reports last autumn showed that is about half the cost.

The IBM model was cheaper and had support for dual monitors via a
