Hi,=20

I heard that a BIOS version 1.10 is out for the Thinkpad x60. Has anyone =
out there installed this version 1.10 and tested it under Linux?? What =
has changed with the new BIOS Version?? Does Battery life =
increase/decrease??...etc

VMWare Server version is actually free, and I installed VMWare Server in =
Ubuntu Dapper Drake, and installed Windows Xp in a Virtual machine. And =
it runs fast enough for programming =
tasks.(http://www.williambrownstreet.net/Linuxblog/). With VMWare Server =
you can also create Virtual Machines.
