Hi, there,

Today I tried several versions of Linux.
RedHat Enterprise 4(kernel 2.6.9).  Still no luck.  It seems both EL and 
ELSmp kernel doesn't work on T60.
I also tried Fedora Core 6. It works out of box !!  Beautiful.
I think RedHat Enterprise 5 has even newer kernel version than Fedora.
So chance is good.

Now I am looking into porting our application. Since our application is 
using Oracle 9i.
It may require some effort to get all right library versions...

thanks for the help.
-Debbie
