IBM does support Linux on the thinkpads, if you read carefully you will see it says:
Announcement letter PSG00-365 for the T20 and PSG00-646 for the T21, state Caldera OpenLinux eDesktop 2.4 (U.S. English only) supports the T20 and T21 respectively.
And that's just the preload. They have persued support for drivers on the T series and most of the A series, and you can actually get the drivers from the vendors now.

I know that IBM is planning to do more stuff for the thinkpads and linux, but even in a big company like that, resources are limited... especially for PSG...
