There were a few minor issues when I installed Mandrake 7.2 on my T22 - I 
had to download a different X server and manually configure sound, for 
example.  Mandrake 8.0 locked up during the install attempts until I gave 
up.  However, Mandrake 8.1 went right on and everything I'm aware of worked 
immediately (including TCP/IP and IPX networking, sound (even under 
VMWare,) X, and suspend - I haven't tried hibernate.)

I have a complete log of everything I did to configure the T22 with both 
7.2 and 8.1, if it is of any use.
