I would have to say "goodbye's" are of general discussion nature and are more suitable in General since your not technically asking a Linux related question.

Moved to General from Linux - General.

Regards.

Thanks! And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!

Good Luck!

Cool

too bad it did nit work out thats understandable, i too have an IBM Thinkpad, its the T20.

i upgraded it windows 2000 and all the drivers were wrong the res was only 800x600 and 16colours so i upgraded the drivers from the IBM site.

BUT i did not have any problems running mandrake linux and gentoo 1.2 on my notebook, the display colours and res was fine.

sorry that you had difficultys though.
