I just got a shiny new (OK - since they're black finish, they're not actually shiny <smile>) Lenovo ThinkPad T400 model 2765-T6U. I'm trying to decide if I should:
1) Load Fedora 9 on it until F10 comes out and then upgrade 2) Load the latest F10 build and "ride rawhide" for about 4 weeks 3) Just wait until F10 final gets here and live with the Win XP preload til then
...Obviously I'd prefer option 3 the least!
Here's the catch: This new series ThinkPad has _both_ the notorious Intel e1000e Gig-e NIC (the hardware of which a certain recent kernel bug has taken a likening to eating) and the Intel IWL5001 series WiFi card. It also has ATI graphics.
I'm thinking I will load F10b now, add the iwl5001 series firmware, patch to latest rawhide specs and then try not to cause a situation that destroys the NIC.
Any thoughts, pointers, or warnings appreciated!
Cheers,
Chris
