There is a linux laptop mailing list. I don't know the address
off the top of my head, but you should be able to search the
Linux HOW-TO's to get the address. The mailing list should have
a FAQ. Having said this, installing Linux is very easy. Just
remember to specify "floppy=thinkpad" when prompted for special
append flags when you boot from the root disk. The rest is
identical to installing on a desktop. I suggest downloading and
compiling the latest release kernel (2.0.27?). When you do this,
you are better off _not_ modularizing drivers that you will use
frequently (especially APM). Also download and install APMD,
which does not come bundled in most Linux distributions. You can
use APMD to suspend your TP safely.

Warranty transfers automatically...just get the original receipt
from the original owner. If you don't, IBM will go by the manufacture
date.
