Ok.
How many of you have actually tried to put linux (any distro) onto a thinkpad (any type)?
Hmmm?
I have. Three of them to be precise. And with only the mwave modem/soundcard on the 760xd, I've had no problems. Dual boot, single boot, whatever, and all worked fine. This includes the a20m. I can't speak for BSD, haven't tried it, but linux works fine. The poster of the original story should've asked around or did a google search for linux on thinkpads to see what experiences others have had.
But that would've taken away from the "anti-big buisness" slant to get the story posted on slashdot, wouldn't it?
