I considered reviewing Debian for this article. I downloaded a copy of Debian 3.0r2, making sure to get the disk with the 2.4 kernel. Everything you've heard about Debian being difficult to install? It's not totally true, but it's pretty close. I really wanted to try Debian, though, if only to use the vaunted apt-get system. I'd tried apt-rpm on a previous Red Hat installation, and it was great. Since Debian was turning out to be too difficult to put together, I decided to look for a debian-based distro.

There are mailing lists for people who run laptop Linux. The IBM Thinkpad one is very comprehensive. I suggest that anyone who is considering what brand to purchase look on the Net for the particular model and also for mailing lists.
That was how I decided to buy a Thinkpad. Its trackpoints are perfect for use in X since they have three buttons.
