I like that series. One of my favorite features is the built-in
PCI network card, if you have that option. At least on the T20,
the earlier ones were 3com, the later ones were Intel. (my
preference)
It makes it way easy for networking in such a case because the Intel
drivers are virtually identical to the desktop ones, no PCMCIA
drivers necessary.
I haven't used one with Linux tho - the Thinkpad I've got Linux on is
an older 760XD. (various other complications because the modem and
sound on it are done with an embedded multi-purpose DSP, which has
never been supported under Linux.. sigh)
