I have stuffed around with it... and if you (during install only) choose bus

!! Hi all,
!! I hope this is an on-topic question. I searched the archives but found
!! nothing on this.
!! I plan to buy a ThinkPad A21m soon, and I want to use it with Linux.
!! I am new to Linux, but I have some experience with Unix so I do not
min=
!! d
!! solving problems :-),
!! but on the other hand, I am looking to have a reliable machine I can
co=
!! unt
!! on for my work and
!! be productive.
!!
!! I've read a little about the main distributions (RedHat, SuSe,
Caldera)=
!! , and
!! all of them seem OK.
!! Which would you recommend based on your experience with the ThinkPads?
!! Would installing a Server or Professional version of a given
distributi=
!! on
!! give me advantages/disadvantages over
!! installing a Workstation or Desktop version?
!! Isn't having 20 -25 different possible distribution options somewhat
cr=
!! azy?
!! (rhetorical question :-)
!! Any important tips about the ThinkPads/linux distribution I should
know=
!!
!! before I buy?
!! (BTW, IBM does not sell preloaded machines in Mexico, so I have to
choo=
!! se)
!!
!! I will appreciate any opinions you can provide on this.
!! Thanks very much in advance,
!!
!! Regards.
