Plus:	Good size/weight (unless you're used to a TP 240 :) )
	Reasonably fast.

Minus:	Sound can be a PITA (must be manually configured)
	You must compile drivers for the internal mwave modem yourself.
	Hard disk these models come with is slow - spend a few $$ on faster disk.
	You have to do a little fiddling to reawaken sound/modem after a suspend.
	No 3D, but otherwise good video support.  (DVD/VideoCD works great)

Overall, they're good machines for Linux.
