I've got a Thinkpad T43p and while it was originally supplied with
Windows XP, getting Linux onto it (Ubuntu in this case) was no problem.
Works like a charm - including fully encrypted filesystems and swap ;-)

3 months of fighting with a T42 and RedHat Enterprise WS 4 makes me

to find one without
flakiness.
$800 for a T40p or T42.

I'd just like to find a nice dirt cheap Thinkpad with a large screen
