Two days ago I managed to install Fedora Core 8.0 on my X61s beside Windows Vista. Great results!! All hardware was fully recognized even the fingerprint reader.

Fedora 9 has been out for a while, though. Works for me

how about the function keys such as brightness and volume change graphical display ?
are the battery life / temperature similar to vista? I've been meaning to switch to linux for awhile but was daunted by these problems.

Actually the function keys will not work, you must search for drivers on the internet. Moreover battery life is about 30 - 35 % less.
