[ltp] installing linux on IBM tp 600

[Paul Kaplan]

I've had good luck with Mandrake 9.x on a 600 and 600x. 4Gb is fine, but I'd 
suggest limiting the number of Window managers.  The autodetect doesn't seem 
to handle sound very well on either machine for me.  Knoppix also works on 
both machines (sound too), but I haven't installed to the hd.  150Mb RAM is 
OK, but more would be better.
