I&rsquo;ve always heard great things about thinkpads and Linux.  No one I&rsquo;ve heard ever shared a negative opinion about thinkpads; just the usual, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s built like a tank&rdquo; statements. Now that you&rsquo;ve spoken the truth about a thinkpad, will you go into hiding?  I&rsquo;m joking, but thank you for the truth that is difficult to tell.
