I can't say about the T41 but I have an old(ish) X61, which has slightly better specs that yours. I run Netbsd 6.1.2 from a USB memory stick (planning to installing onto HD soon), no swap (have 2G ram) and minimal X with Fluxbox and Firefox and it runs fine. One thing, the keyboad hotkeys and the volume keys don't work (there could be some workarounds but I'm not bothered). Netbsd 6.1.2 run a generic Thinkpad driver (man 4 thinkpad) that does the job for acpi. Have you tried on the Lenovo forum as well? -- Ottavio
