Just as a completely unrelated question, are you satisfied
with your Think Pad? Does it work well with Linux? I mean, did
you have to use any binary-only module (with the possible
exception of PCMCIA) or does a stock kernel work fine with
your laptop?
I'm in the market for a new computer and I'm still deciding if
I'll go with a desktop or with a laptop... I'm looking for
something that uses only free-software, without third-party
drivers and that has reasonable performance.
Other opinions/experiences are welcome.
