Caldera linux does run on it now, but FreeBSD doesn't; why would Red Hat running on it change anything? (In fact RH likely does run on it, it's just not "supported" by IBM. I think they entered into a deal with Caldera over linux on thinkpads.) R. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
