I'm so happy to find this web site! I'm currently thinking about buying a new laptop, but I'm worried to find problems to install GNU/Linux. Right now I'm considering a Thinkpad R52, with the Intel graphics card, I guess it will work fine with Linux...

Can you please advice me on this? Do you think I won't find many problems to make Linux (Fedora Core 4 or other distibution) on a Thinkpad R52, with the Intel graphics card and the Pentium M 1.7 GHz processor?

Hi,

There are still some issues with the newest models like the R52. Mostly Power Management related. For graphics, you'll probably need ATIs fglrx drivers.

However, as far as my experience goes there's hardly any notebook brand with as good Linux support as ThinkPads.
