Installation instructions for the ThinkPad T500

Specific installation notes for the ThinkPad T500.

General Notes

T61 is running out of live and had a very good linux support. T500 is one of the follow-ups with a new and more performant hardware. Can it stay up with the linux Compability of the T61 series?
