[ltp] Preferred distro for Thinkpads?

[Bernard Tremblay]

Hi,

  I use Mandriva LE 2005 on a Thinkpad A21P without any problem.  But
  this is not the point I would like to highlight.  I just want to tell
  everybody that whatever distro you have, you will learn about Linux...
   This is more a question of attitude, not a question of having distro
  A or B... If you want to go deeper in any area of Linux there are TONS
  of HOWTO, lists, and sites that will help you learn if you want.  The
  question is rather:  do you want to learn ???

 regards,
          
BT
