    Anyone else notice you can configure the 14" widescreen T61s with SUSE Linux? It's a $119 saving over Home Premium. That's much better than the $30 you save on Dell's Latitudes with FreeDOS, It doesn't seem like you can get it with the Penryn CPUs, but that's probably not a huge deal. Also the card reader doesn't seem to be an option. You can get a decent configuration for like $830 plus tax of course. It seems it's only an option on the 14" widescreens right now, but hopefully they'll spread this option across the line to include the R and X series. I'm almost tempted to buy, but my R60 is coming along nicely.

    Yes, indeed, it's a money saver option. But I would like it available on all other ThinkPads.
