We launched it and found that the document¡¦s first line was ¡§Limitations, Workarounds and How To¡¦s for SLED10.¡¨ We did not like the sound of that ¡§limitations¡¨ element. After all, isn¡¦t Linux supposed to be about overcoming limitations? The first part of the document covered ¡§features not supported.¡¨ Some of those features are: * ThinkVantage Active Protection System. * ThinkVantage Access Connections for SUSE Linux * ThinkPad Configuration for SUSE Linux * ThinkPad Power Manager for SUSE Linux * Wireless WAN Adapter * ThinkVantage Button * (Intel Graphics System) DVI Output From our point of view, Lenovo was not off to a good start. ********************************************************************* Yet another POS Linux laptop that people will return in massive numbers when they find out how much doesn't work with Linux. -- Moshe Goldfarb Collector of soaps from around the globe.
