[ltp] Upgrading T21 . . . what next?

[Darrin "tizzyD" Tisdale]

I've currently got a T21 with a 60GB HD, 384 MB RAM running SuSE 8.1.  I 
prefer the prepackaged distro, and as they go, SuSE IMHO is the best.  
BTW--looking to play with Gentoo next time around, but enough of that...

It's time for an upgrade.  Although quite quick for many things, I need 
additional power for some Wine-based apps.  I'd also like better video (S3 
drivers blow) and Firewire (for the iPod).  For me, other important items 
include remote handling (I travel about half the time), solid perfornance, 
and no funky Windows-only based crap (like the WinModem).  Wireless is 
ubiquitous, and as long as the built-in system is supported under standard 
PCMCIA drivers, I'm fine.

So, should I go with a T, an X, or an A?  I'll be maxing it out, and, 
fortunately for me, cost really is not a factor.  Weight is also not much of 
an issue.  I rarely try and use it on planes, and I'm just too tall (6' 5") 
for anything but a DVD player.  Hell, the tray does not even fit down all the 
way out.

Anyone have any experience here with these models?  Should I ditch IBM all 
together?  I look to the community for sage feedback.
