[ltp] Which Distro supports T60?

[Aaron Mulder]

I tried SuSE 10 last night on the T60 after changing the SATA setting
in the BIOS.

It did install.  However, it didn't recognize the wireless adapter
(Intel abg), it recognized but was unable to run the ethernet adapter,
it didn't recognize the modem, the video was only recognized as
VESA...  Suspend to RAM was nearly instantaneous, but upon resume the
screen stayed black (like the backlight never came on).  About the
only bright spot is that the sound kind of works.

Bottom line, it runs SuSE 10 kind of like a Dell.  :)  Maybe tomorrow
I'll try 10.1 beta 6.  It does look like FC5 is arriving in a week or
so, but I only have the next day or two to work with this machine.

Thanks,
    Aaron
