[wplug] IBM Laptop

[John Harrold]

Sometime in October Henry Umansky assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Hello all,
| I'm about to purchase and IBM Thinkpad R32 and I wanted to install Linux on 
| that machine.  I was just wondering if anyone knew of any hardware problems 
| with that laptop??  Will everything work with it, especially the built-in 
| modem and ethernet?  Also, I heard rumors of being able to decline the MS 
| agreement when you first start your laptop, install Linux,  and you can get 
| a refund of some kind.  It sounds bogus, but I just wanted to double-check.
| 
| -Henry
