==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 [[Install_Ubuntu_9.04_(Jaunty_Jackalope)_on_a_ThinkPad_T400| 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 ]]. 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.

==BIOS Upgrade==
There is a [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72823.html Bios upgrade] available. Not sure if it is required. Install from a CD went smoothly.
