[ltp] Recommended Thinkpad Model? $1500?

[Christopher Sawtell]

Greets,

  I have a nearly 2 year old R40 which I purchased s/h.

  Getting Linux to run properly on it is requiring more 'Voodoo and Black 
Magic' than I was expecting or prepared for, but I am basically very happy 
with it. I'm sure that in time I will get everything going properly.

  My suggestion is not to dash out and buy an absolutely brand new machine, 
but to get something a bit older so the real expert gurus have had time to 
sort out the problems and wrinkles.

-- 
Sincerely etc.,
Christopher Sawtell
