Linux (and hello)

[tannenba@engr.wisc.edu (Todd Tannenbaum)]

Hello,

I'm new to this list.  I just received a Thinkpad 750C with
12meg RAM & 340meg HD.  I'll run Windows and (hopefully) Linux.

Regarding Linux:  anyone successfully install Linux on their
thinkpad????  if so, how'd you do it?  how well does Xfree work
with the thinkpad chipset (256 colors?)?  do the thinkpad power
saving abilities still work (suspend, etc) in linux?

I tried to install the slackware linux release (my copy is about 3-4 
months old), and could not even make it past the first disk.  Seems
to me that the Linux kernel did not recognize the drive type reported
by the Thinkpad floppy!! (probably because it is reporting a slightly
different type number due to its 2.88 meg capability).

Thanks
