Introduction

As you will realise quickly, I've taken the installation tipps from the (by the way) very good site Installation of Fedora Core 5 on a ThinkPad X41 Tablet. I've been a windows user for quite a long time so I decided to go with OpenSuSE because I've already had contact with this distro some years ago and found it very good, looking at usability, settings, installation, etc. Many things of your Thinkpad will work out of the box.Later in this article I'd like to show some software I'm currently using and that I find very handy on a Tablet. I've just installed Linux on my Thinkpad, so this article isn't finished yet
