Specific installation notes for the ThinkPad T500.
General Notes
T61 is running out of life and had a very good linux support. T500 is one of the follow-ups with a new and more performant hardware. Can it stay up with the linux Compability of the T61 series?
Good News
Ubuntu 9.10 works great on my T500, with suspend, hibernate, sound, wifi, out of the box. I'm amazed.
