I did a Thinkpad A21e with no problems. As long as one knows the exact
hardware, and the hardware is supported, there should be no major problems.
It took me a while to get the winmodem working and also my Intel Pro/2011
wireless NIC. I tried Redhat 8 and Redhat 9 but they were sooooo slooow.
Debian rocks on my laptop. Love it.
