I realy recommend to buy a Thinkpad for running Linux (wicht destri ever).
I am using a Compaq Armada M700, and it functions just great. This machine
should be available on the used/refurbished market at a fair deal.
And yes, Florian's right, we'll have to see how Lenovo deals with continued
support for Linux on ThinkPads. I believe that IBM saw it as a viable and
logical outgrowth of their support for Linux on servers. Lenovo doesn't have
that concern.
I'm using a second-hand 1GHz Dell Lattitude C610 with DVD R/W and everything
works in debian (i haven't tried the modem or IR). Beware that many IBMs don't
have touch-pads.
