IBM Thinkpads are known to work out of the box with all the hardware detected
(except for, of course internal modems) and working properly with common
distributions. I would recommend several R series models available.
I can't agree with Anurag more on any topic but this one.
With a right distro/kernel combination IBM TP just work and without
any issue at all. We both have T42 (shameless plug) and I don't
think we regret our 1 year old decision to buy a laptop. But yes I
have seen more people running R Series ( R51/R52 ) than any other TP
model. And all this people use Linux and different distros even -
(K)Ubuntu, SUSE.
I think R60 are the entry level TPs these days, just check
their configuration and see if they would statisfy the client's
requirement.
And no, IBM doesnt pay me for advertising :)
Seriously? You must not have give proper mailing address.
Cheers!
