I donīt have a T60, only a R51. Used for surfing and light office windows  
(with NHC for reduced CPU-voltage) getīs about 2:45 runtime and a little  
fan use. Under Linux itīs 3:30 and no fan (heavily patched kernel).

Once the problems around the new CoreDuo are resolved (and documented in  
the thinkwiki) the runtimes will be equal for normal windows and linux  
setups. If you go the extra step and optimise the hell out of linux ...
