[ltp] Is the t60 is a goog succesor for a t42.

[Phil]

I've gone from T40p to T60 dual-core 2GHz and it's been great. I've got 
14.1" screen (1400x1050) and installed Ubuntu 7.04 - everything worked 
out of the box including suspend to ram, suspend to disk, wifi, etc etc. 
Screen excellent with the open source drivers (including support for 
desktop effects) but NOT dual-head. ATI proprietary drivers work fine 
with dual-head. I'm completely happy with it, wouldn't go back to the T40.
