[[ltp] Recomendations on the "best" distribution for TP]

[Jim Peden]

Cesar,

I have an A20p and I'm running RedHat 6.2. I got mine from elinux.com. It=
 came
pre-installed with RedHat and Windows. This is a great thing if you have =
not
used linux much before. At this point you might check the IBM web page. I=
BM is
starting to sell their boxes with linux.

Good Luck
Jim
