[ltp] Quick bit of info and a request for help

[Bill Mair]

Hi all,

<INFO-1 subject="Web-Ring">

I just wanted to inform you all that the Linux Thinkpad Web-Ring is tops 
in traffic statistics (the linux pages).

If you have set up a site detailing your experiences with Linux and 
IBM's Thinkpads then you should really think about joining the ring.
My page is no longer listed :-( , but then again it does only contain 
<really> old information. Long gone are the days when I had time to hack 
XFree86 :-( .

<INFO-2 subject="lm_sensors">

Latest versions of lm_sensors (>=2.6.5) now contains code to identify 
IBM machines (not just ThinkPads but any IBM H/W).

If it identifies the machine machine vendor, via BIOS calls AFAIK, as 
being IBM, then it will not run. I have talked (mailed) with one of the 
developers and he says that the detection code has not been thoroughly 
tested (big surprise, I don't want to test it either), so he still 
recommends the ThinkPad users leave it alone (unless that they are sure 
that they don't have the chip "24RF08" on their H/W).

So, the waring still stands. DON'T try lm-sensors !

<HELP-REQUEST subject="www.linux-thinkpad.org">

I have been unable to keep up with all the changes in the TP world (new 
models, distro's etc.), forget about all the changes/advances in the 
Linux world.

Are any of you prepared to assist me in keeping linux-thinkpad.org 
current and put new infomation up for grabs ?

I do hope that some of you want to participate, I'm a hacker not really 
a Web-Site man.
