Nope Sir!

FreeDOS does not support any of the things that a modern OS supports, you could not even have a soundcard, bluetooth or 3d accelerated GFX card, because FreeDOS would not support it.

It is more a label issue (the label that is on the laptop, that indicates which CPU you got). very strange, since you cannot select to not have any sticker.

As for Lenovo offering SuSE.. Never heard of that. Somebody got information on that?

Here is a press release from Aug 2007:

Here are some Linux Thinkpads:

The original poster with Vista Business can opt to 'downgrade' to XP, then dual boot with SuSE.
