Not on this Linux PRELOADED laptop it's not....

After the initial boot and logon, we were faced with a clean,

well-organized desktop, but one element caught our eye right away¡Xa text

document called ThinkPad Readme.txt. 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.
