Lenovo quietly certifies T61p ThinkPad for Linux
Remember that upgraded, metallic-skeleton wearing T61p ThinkPad we showed you a few days ago? Turns out that in addition to all of the publicized features, it also runs Linux. Unlike Dell, which made a big deal out of their Ubuntu machines, Lenovo quietly has certified its high-end T61p for use with Novell SLED 10, Red Hat and Turbolinux. While Lenovo isn't pre-installing Linux on the machines at this point, this move still represents a major tip of the hat to Linux in the enterprise--considering that the ThinkPad continues to retain its title as the business laptop of choice. What's more, this isn't the first time Lenovo has hinted at Linux on a ThinkPad: Last year, Lenovo began offering SLED (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop) 10 on the ThinkPad T60.
