On this page experiences, tips, and tricks how to get most out of a Lenovo T400s are collected. Everyone is invited to share his part. Feedback is very welcome. No warranty that any of the information on this page may harm your hard- or software is given.
Intro
I started to write up this page as of 2009-08-12. It is work in progress. The "template" was taken from Ubuntu 9.04 on a T400. The good news is: Nearly everything works out of the box on [[ http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/910features | Karmic ]]. Where are the good old times it took you a couple of nights to get a new box up and running? ;)
Before Installation
Backup your data. Maybe dd the rescue partition.
BIOS Upgrade
There is a Bios upgrade available. Not sure if it is required. Install from a CD went smoothly.
