It is a little early to give you a definitive answer. I have been using
T21/linux for about two weeks.  What I can say is:
	- redhat 7.1 loaded fine. 
	- kernel upgrade to 2.4.3 worked fine
	- apm seems to work.  I have not used power management for any time
greater than 10 minutes
	- I went from 6.2 to 7.1, so there were things I had not expected:
		- xinetd
		- dig instead of nslookup
	- Coverted my ipchains to iptables. 
	- my php/mysql combo got upgraded and "things" did not work quite
right. I mucked around with rebuilding php-4.0.4pl1
	- I am die hard fvwm user, so took some time to get that to my liking.
	- Vmware works fine.  Although I am currently trying to get samba to
work.
