Lenovo debuted its first Linux-based laptops at LinuxWorld in San Francisco on Tuesday, running SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 provided through a partnership with Novell. The systems are the result of a two-year research effort by the two companies as well as Intel, whose Centrino Duo processors power the portable. The Thinkpad T60p is an inch thin and weighs 4.7 pounds. Several features of Lenovo's Windows-based notebooks, including Help Center support, the ThinkPad Configuration Utility, Power Manager and Access Connections have been ported to Linux, the company said.

... about how "overpriced" Mac Hardware or a Linux Pre-Load laptop (like something from System76) is I am so linking this article.

IMHO, this is a 50-50 split between a sop to the cries for Linux on a laptop from a major manufacturer and a "screw you very much" to the Linux crowd.
It's not going to sell at that OUTRAGEOUS price, so it will be pulled in short order and the low sales will be used "prove" that there's no market for Linux pre-loads on a laptop.
Well, Lenovo, UP YOURS and twice on Sundays. You've just joined the ranks of Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Starbucks -- companies I go out of my way to avoid.
