T40p - good choice for running FBSD?

[u***@esct.org]

Hi,

I've look at a new laptop and the IBM T40p looks like nice.
After searching in this list, many employees favorite the IBM brand.
Is there any reason why I don't buy a T40p(any experience aside from
Lukas Ertl's laptop list)?
It looks like the same as T40. How contented the T40p owner?

Normally I run -stable of my maschine, is it a better choice to install
5.1(when is 5.2 -stable out)?


All sentences, notices, links and informations are welcome!

i have a t40p. the big problem is resume locks up the box
with an ata error. oh, and then there is the problem of
screen staying blank and having to do teh vty hack to get
it back. but you can get it back from that, unlike the
resuyme lock up.

otherwise ok with X, gnome, ... in stable and current.

Thanks for all helpful comments!

Today I've ordered a T41p. I'm curious about it.
