my brother, except for the grace of Jah there goes I. I was about to buy this puppie when I read an article on Slashdot. I phoned the in-house geek at the local thinkpad emporium and told him that I requested he check with his masters at the great Blue Box in the Big Supermarket.
He told me, and I quote--"IBM DOES NOT CERTIFY THIS THINKPAD TO RUN WITH LINUX."
So either I buy it and use the wonderful '98 or I don't--hard choices.
