Hello everyone!

#1 Post by mikey pizano » Sat Feb 17, 2007 6:09 pm

I just got my first ThinkPad today! I got a 570 free from a friend. I plan on installing Linux on it, most likely Xubuntu. Its the 366MHz model. I put in a 20GB hard drive and it has 128MB total RAM, 13 inch screen, and the uultrabase has a DVD ROM. Does anyone have a spare floppy drive cable?
