Linux on T61; Can't find any on the (Canada) lenovo website

[CanadianNorth]

Lenovo states "T series models can now be purchased with Novell SUSE linux Enterprise Desktop 10" but I have searched the site and can't see anything.

Is this a US only offer, or what?

Probably won't be available in Canada for a while yet (if at all) due to support issues.

You're better off getting a system with either XP or Vista and then download any one of the 100's of different Linux distributions available and install it yourself (not that difficult - the internet Linux community is teeming with life and eagerness to help people out).

This way, you'll have a certified genuine copy of Windows (either XP or Vista) as something to fall back on when needed.

good point,

thanks.

If you're looking for ease and support, Ubuntu is probably the distro of choice. They're all different, the Linux kernel is just the base.
