	I use an IBM T30 running SUSE 10.0 as the host with VM Ware 5.5 
and XP as the guest. The initial setup of this unit was more than 
I (newbie) could do and now I'm struggling to get VM Ware back 
running after a kernel update as well as getting the proper 
printer/scanner drivers installed. Other than that I'm very 
impressed with the speed and functionality of the Thinkpad on 
SUSE. Suspend works as well as wireless and all the other things 
you (I) would expect. Prior to my kernel update XP seems to run 
as well as it can for me which would be to access certain 
websites with explorer and vendor programs. I get my stuff from
