So, now that we are on the toppic, I like to get one other thing of my chest, 
if permitted; I have had several rounds along the IBM resellers/support 
organistations/hirarchy on this subject and was amazed at the disbelieve I 
encounterd regarding installing Linux on a thinkpad MYSELF.
I think there is a deffinite culture clash going on here: the statement I 
read the other day on linuxtoday covers this pretty good: In the OpenSource 
culture one is an user and in the proprierity world one is a customer.  
Customers pay for stuff and are apperantly not supposed to do/think things 
themselves; what an odd lack of insight in what customer sattisfaction is all 
about....especially in the Linux world. It's really not about getting things 
for free, but about choice. I buy a laptop for $5500 where I want to run sw 
on that gives me choice and freedom of usage. Can IBM give me user 
sattisfaction?
