Some days ago my laptop, an iBook G4, which wasn't even one and a half year old, croaked. Due the fact that I wanted to have a working laptop again as soon as possible I decided to buy a new one and ordered an IBM ThinkPad X41.

It's smaller, less weighty and a much smarter than the old iBook. Well, it was a bit tricky to get Debian installed because the debian-installer doesn't support the hardware completely, but with using the Ubuntu netboot image it was easy to bootstrap a pure Debian system.

The hardware is well supported by the Linux kernel. Only suspend doesn't work well at the moment. It's going to sleep well, but after waking up some SCSI errors occur. This is because SATA suspend is currently broken, but that fill be fixed with one of the next versions, so I'll be patient.
