Nils,

This site is your friend.

http://www.linux-laptop.net/ 

It contains case histories of Linux installs.  Which distro they used, what 
they could get working, and how they got it working.

Go to http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ibm.html and you'll find quite a few 
Thinkad 600 links -- one in German!
