I have some older IBM Thinkpads. They have had Debian,
Red Hat, and Linux From Scratch installed on them, with
no special problems. Even the winmodem was useable,
with help from this site:
http://linmodems.org/
The only thing I never got working was the sound card,
but even that should be possible in principle with the
commercial OSS drivers---it was not an issue for me.
About a year and a half ago, I installed Mandrake on
a newer Thinkpad, and even sound worked out of the box.
Unless the thing is on the absolute cutting edge,
I bet you your installation will be pretty smooth.
