The only distro I’ve tried on this particular machine has been Kanotix, which seemed to work really well on the LiveCD, but I had a heck of a time getting the Orinoco to work properly after I installed it to the local hard drive.  At that time I was still using it as my main day to day laptop, and needed a stable machine so I went back to XP after a few days.  

I’ll download the Ubuntu ISO when I get home and give it a shot.  Would still be nice to get an experienced hand on it tho. 

Thanks

eric

Eric,

 Thinkpads( and most IBM hardware ) work very well with most Linux distros( RedHat or Ubuntu should not be much more effort than inserting CD and following instructions ).  I recommend Ubuntu.
