    Hey all.

    I have a T61 and am looking at getting a docking station. I'm doing this with the plan for dual screens. Should I go with a particular docking station to facilitate this? The way I see it, I have two options:

    Advanced Mini Dock
    Advanced Dock

    Any experience with the Advanced Dock? Seems to be the ticket as I can throw in a separate graphics card with it. Love to hear what people are experiencing with it.

    Thanks in advance.

    if you want dual screens get DualHead2Go working great for me at my T42P http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/

    unfortunately they don't have a ready drive for linux but with few tweaks to your xorg.conf it works like charm :)

    Dual screen can be achieved with Advanced Mini Dock.

    If you wanted 4 screens or something you could get the Advanced Dock.
