Just one more thing is that my experience at installfests is that: 
1. Thinkpads usually work well with Linux. I've never had a problem. I 
have seen some issues others have had with wireless on the T41s. 

2. HP. There have been a lot of issues with HP systems, mainly with the 
broadcom chips. Most of the time we get the wireless working. 

3. Dell. I don't know if it is just me being anti-Dell, but nearly 
every Dell I've encountered at the installfests have had some other 
issues. In some cases we couldn't install from DVD. I guess Dell and I 
have bad karma :-)
