First of, I fully agree with an earlier post saying that there is no
"best distro", it's a matter of taste and personal preferences. I'm just
surprised that noone (afaik) has mentioned Slackware?! I'm running
Slackware-current with kernel 2.6.12.5 perfectly on my recently obtained
T41. ACPI runs smooth with ibm-acpi v.0.11, only thing lacking now is
suspend to disk, but I haven't given that a try yet. I also should note
that I don't have Wifi nor Bluetooth so I can't report on that.

I could go on on why I think it's a good distro and all, but I think
that's already written all over the web and easily found with Google.
Only thing to mention is that the old dogma that it's difficult to
install is complete ridicule.

Cheers, Leon.
