i just installed debian (via a knoppix cd) on an r40. it's going rather well, as my research had led me to expect. working highlights: 3d, speedstep, wireless, ethernet, acpi. i have my random notes at http://www.hjsoft.com/blog/link/Linux_on_ThinkPad_R40_2897-B4U there are pages with much better organization out there, though. -- ____________________}John Flinchbaugh{______________________ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.hjsoft.com/~glynis/ | ~~Powered by Linux: Reboots are for hardware upgrades only~~
