[TriLUG] Thinkpad T60 opinions?

[dsandif]

I did something similar Jim,

Got a T60 lenovo, 100gig hard drive, ran partition magic and gave the 
windows side a total of 60gigs (C: = 30gigs & D: = 30gigs) and then I 
gave the rest to my RHEL WS4-v4 install. Everything went smooth until I 
got to the point of trying to configure Redhat for wireless. It seems 
that Lenovo put in a Atheros wireless Pro/1000 network card in their 
system which doesn't sit too well with Redhat EL WS4 and will give you 
headaches. I've not been successful
yet in getting the Ahteros and I had similar problems with the Cisco 
Aironet 350 wireless card as well. Both would get to the point of 
complete configuration and then fail at activation attempt.
I was just on the verge of going into conniption fits when I came across 
this post that might explain why I was having such a hard time with 
these cards:

Hope this helps you on you way to the dual boot setup. I'll continue to 
try on my end with the RHELWS4-4 setup. Stay tuned.....
