[TriLUG] Thinkpad T60 opinions?

[Roy Vestal]

I have the T43 (predecessor to the T60) and have a similar config to yours. I've 
had no problems with my dual boot XP/FC5 setup. I would recommend it. I have a 
collegue at work that uses a T60 running RHEL4 WS and he says it works fine.

Clay,
  If you have the Intel 2200 wireless, you can simply follow the instr on 
ipw2200.sf.net to get it work. I'm also running the ATI binary driver from 
www.ati.com with no problems. I run UT2004, UO AoS 3D, and am working on Anarchy 
  Online now. 3D works great!
