T400s

Disclaimer

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 Ubuntu 9.04 on a T400. Of course at the moment [| Karmic Alpha3] is all you can get off the Net. The good news is: Everything works out of the box.

Before Installation

Backup your data. Maybe dd the rescue partition.
