I just started to write up this page as of 2009-08-12. Please expect more to come in the next couple of days. The "template" was taken from [[Install_Ubuntu_9.04_(Jaunty_Jackalope)_on_a_ThinkPad_T400| Ubuntu 9.04 on a T400]]. Of course at the moment [[http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha3 | Karmic Alpha3]] is all you can get off the Net. The good news is: Everything works out of the box.
+
On this page experiences, tips, and tricks how to get most out of a Lenovo T400s are collected. Everyone is invited to share his part. Feedback is very welcome. No warranty that any of the information on this page may harm your hard- or software is given.

Where are the good old times it took you a couple of nights to get a new box up and running? ;)

T400s

Disclaimer

On this page experiences, tips, and tricks how to get most out of a Lenovo T400s are collected. Everyone is invited to share his part. Feedback is very welcome. No warranty that any of the information on this page may harm your hard- or software is given.

Intro

I started to write up this page as of 2009-08-12. It is work in progress. The "template" was taken from Ubuntu 9.04 on a T400. The good news is: Nearly everything works out of the box on [[ http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/910features | Karmic ]], 10.04, and 10.10. Where are the good old times it took you a couple of nights to get a new box up and running? ;)

Before Installation

Backup your data. Maybe dd the rescue partition.
