Linux Laptop & Notebook Installation Guides: Lenovo (former IBM)

Linux installation and configuration guides for PalmTop, ThinkPad, TransNote laptops and notebooks made by Lenovo (former IBM). Reports about running other Unix systems e.g. BSD, Solaris are welcome, too. And don't miss the resources section at the bottom, containing links to applications, tools, utilities, drivers, community portals, HOWTOs and FAQs. Do you have written an installation tutorial yourself? Please submit a new report.





See here for Linux on laptops and notebooks from Lenovo. This page is dedicated to models which have been formerly produced by IBM or their successors made by Lenovo, e.g. ThinkPad and TransNote models.
