Well, after my struggles trying to get 6.10 working on this system, I decided to just wait for 7.04 to be released. Last night I downloaded and burned the CD and started it right up. Although I only played with it for a couple of hours before bed, it looks like it is going to work on this system without issue.

Tonight I plan on testing it out some more and if things go well, installing it as a dual boot pretty soon - I have been waiting for my Vista upgrade for about 2 months now and even though they say it has shippied, Microsoft keeps giving me the run around on actually getting it to me. I was trying to wait to install linux until after I get Windows installed so I don't have to go through the whole bootloader stuff that Microsoft screws up when you install Windows.

I have to say, that so far I am pretty impressed for the most part and it seems like the wireless networking got some improvements, but I am disappointed that I didn't see support out of the box for wpa-psk. This is too bad since I think most people prefer to use it. I had wpa-psk working on 6.10 on my T40p and it really wasn't that bad to configure, so I don't know why they chose not to support it without a little "hoop-jumping".

I have wpa-psk working with no problems on my T60. The secret seems to be to use NetworkManager and not the traditional ifup/down approach. The basics are here:

In short: install networkmanager; comment out or delete the NIC definitions in /etc/network/interfaces; joy!

Knetworkmanager (for them what uses KDE) provides a nice front end that stores the passkey in Kwallet. I assume there's a Gnome equivalent.
