To void my previous post i have a great news today. Just yesterday i installed Knoppix3.4 on a friends IBM thinkpad and it rocks. I didn't imagine it will be this simple. I just put the cd in it boots up (i have to turn off acpi tho) I resize the ntfs partition (breeze with qtparted) and install linux. Done we are up and running kde. Only pieces not working on board are acpi and modem. I am sure both can be run with little hardwork ( we are back to the days when men were men and wrote their own config scripts :-)) ).
Sound , display everything works out of the box and its just way too cool. It does have 256 mb ram but still the snappiness and configuration is excellent, i think debian is going to be the model of the future, develop a superset for stability / excellence in tech. give user friendlyness and polish/features through a stripped down derivative.
More updates when the modem and acpi works (or doesn't ).
