[ltp] Thinkpad 600E roll call...

[Antiphon]

I own a 600X and it runs like a charm on my Debian sid system. If you want to 
have hibernation support, you will need to keep a spare fat32 partition 
around so that the firmware can save your RAM state. You must use the 
thinkpad utilities available at the IBM web site to make a hibernation file 
unnder widows/dos.

I've had some problems with using regular apm suspend after enabling this but 
that isn't too big of a deal since standby still works and hibernation is 
battery independent.
