I submitted this link: http://kaiwai.blogspot.com/2008/05/opensolaris-and-thinkpad-t61p-re...
But it hasn't appeared as a new story, so I thought I might as well post it as a conversation - basically my review of Thinkpad and my experience running OpenSolaris on it. Just a side note, yes, it does run Ubuntu 8.04 very well.

Like many may have already noticed, also Ars Technica has a nice OpenSolaris 2008.05 review:
"First look: OpenSolaris 2008.05 a work in progress"
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080512-first-look-opensolari...
Anyway, I'm not sure if I agree with the Ars reviewer that the new Nimbus theme in OpenSolaris would really be better than Clearlooks or Ubuntu's Human? It is promising but looks a bit unfinished and incoherent. For example, the Nimbus color choices: a mostly bluish gray coloring combined with bright orange progress bars and the window manager buttons all using different bright colors?

It's in the waiting list. I don't do individual items per review anymore, I make review round-ups. The review-after-review items were not particularly popular, so just like the items-for-each-test-release-of-every-distro, they are no longer published.
This is a guideline of course, not a rule. Exceptions will always be made 
.
In any case, Kaiwai, I have three reviews of 2008.05 in the backend, waiting to be merged into one item. This was supposed to done yesterday, but I was too busy with university work (presentation).
