[ltp] Thinkpad 600E roll call...

[Michelle Klein-Hass]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question about what everyone thinks of the Thinkpad 600E 
366MHz and/or 400MHz as a good solid Linux laptop. My 365X is now 
living with friends in England, and after playing around with one at 
the Computer Show this weekend it looks like I'm going to take the 
plunge and snag one refurbished from ComputerGeeks.Com. The distro 
I'm looking to install will be Mandrake 9.1. I'm also going to run 
Win4Lin so I can use this stupid Active X courseware that one of my 
classes in College uses...I have a copy of Windows98SE so I can load 
that up. No, it won't work on anything else other than IE under 
Windows...stupid software...:P

My friend Chad Page has one and he loves his. I already have an Apple 
PowerBook G3 Wallstreet which runs MacOS 9.1 and Yellow Dog Linux 3, 
but I actually am missing my old Thinkpad.

If anyone could let me know the "gotchas" and weird stuff I need to 
watch out for with the 600 series I'd be very, very grateful.

Thanks guys,
