[ltp] lenovo to provide linux support?

[Takis Diakoumis]

my timing of finding that piece has proved rather amusing. there was an
official announcement made by lenovo to sell thinkpad's with suse (only
at this stage) preinstalled today:

and

something is happening... somewhere... we'll see in time if its worth
anything and not just a simple (and superficial) market move to match
dell et al.
