PC vendor Lenovo has promised ThinkPads with pre-installed Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 for some time now. Lenovo will deliver the goods the week of Jan. 14. Lenovo will release pre-installed SLED 10 on its Intel Centrino processor-powered ThinkPad T61 and R61 14-inch-wide notebooks. In February, Lenovo's pre-integrated Novell Linux offering will expand to include some Penryn-based ThinkPads.

A T61p using Linux? Seriously? This model is meant to be a mobile workstation, designed for graphics and design professionals using CAD and such. The plain T61 is the mobile office-jockey/road dog series used primarily for those who need email and excel duty. Are there even any supported video drivers to properly handle the pro-series chipsets...ie. Quadro? This is like putting an 84 Escort engine in a Mustang.
All things considered, though. SLES installed probably still makes for a better business decision than pre-installing Vista. For every T61p we get in the office, there's a smile every time we re-image it back to XP Pro.
