Yup! Had the torrent by 7.20AM Pacific time...just finished installing it on the T60 a few minutes ago. So far so good!

Got it installed on my T42 last night. Working good, just the usual configuration issues the seem to come with every new Linux release.
That middle button paste drives me mad
but I got it solved.

Just upgraded from F12 using the "preupgrade"-tool without a hitch, the only thing left to
do was to re-enable trackpoint scrolling (the configuration method has changed yet again..
).
A quick look at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_co ... TrackPoint suggested using
the gpointing-device-settings - tool for this, which worked very well for me.
oh, and I didn't even know my touchpad supports 2-finger scrolling!
All in all, F13 seems like a very solid release to me, way more than F12 when it was released.
btw, 2.6.34 is said to hit the F13 repos soon, with a lot of ominous power saving features for
notebooks.

The problem with gpointing-device-settings is that scrolling did not work in gedit or nautilus. Instead, everytime I pressed the middle button, whatever was in the clipboard was pasted at the cursor.
I uninstalled gpointing-device-settings after trying it and installed xorg-x11-apps instead, and am using the xinput method from that same Thinkwiki link. I copied the script file to /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default and made it executable for the file to be read every time I booted up.
