Just a general comment: I have a Lenovo Thinkpad R61 and although I am
running Debian on it at the moment, it was not always easy to get
everything to work. I am actually using an Ubuntu kernel at the
moment because all the Debian kernels gave me irq-errors on this
laptop resulting in the disabling of the network card at times.
With Ubuntu installations everything just work. So far I could not
get my Fn-F8 to toggle the the touchpad, but I am living with it. On
Ubuntu that also worked.
So why do I use Debian? I think it is more stable and I like it...
Regards
Johann
