Linux Install on ThinkPad x60s
Wayne brought in an IBM Thinkpad x60s, and we turned it into a dual boot system with Windows on an 80GB hard drive partition, and Lubuntu on a 170 GB hard drive partition. The installation went without any surprises; Lubuntu recognized all of the laptop's hardware, including the wireless card.
After installing Lubuntu, we realized that the machine had 4GB of ram. That's far more than Lubuntu needs, and we installed xfce4 as an alternate desktop environment.
