Ubuntu 7.10 on Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad R61
Just as a reminder for myself…
- Installing Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) on a ThinkPad T61
- Fedora 7 on a IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad R61 (if I ever want to come back to Fedora Core again…)
Of course, the new company laptop came with a Windows installation, but setting up Ubuntu was far more straight forward than when I tried Fedora Core on a Toshiba Satellite M30 years ago. Although the installation instructions linked above cover the T61, most of them also work for the Lenovo Thinkpad R61.


Lucky boy! I received an ugly Dell Laptop, 10 kg.
And also a nokia 6300, to counterbalance
. Fair.
I’m not jealous about your notebook, but that mobile phone looks fine
I just updated my mobile plan, adding a data option (T-Mobile charges 9 Euro cents per minute for EDGE) to be able to check my e-mails even when the hotel does not offer WiFi access.
