I do not think this is off-topic. I heard a rumor that IBM intends to provide full support for linux on its thinkpads, and move a significant amount of its employees to linux on thinkpad. I can't currently find a proof, but searching google for 'thinkpad linux support site:ibm.com' does bring, in the second hit, a list of certifications (made by others - mostly linuxcare RIP, RH and SuSE) for various thinkpads. You might want to contact IBM officials or dealers and ask about this. I do have to note that older (3-4 years old) HP laptops worked for us better than 1-2 years old thinkpads. I still didn't have an experience with newest thinkpads, though. But the main problem with the newer thinkpads was when connecting to an external monitor/beamer and I have a feeling this problem is unrelated to IBM, but is general to most radeon-based laptops. It's also not that important for most people, unless you need it to give lectures. If you do manage to get more concrete information, I would love to hear it, and think many here would too. -- Didi ================================================================= 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]
