We use T60s and T61s at Red Hat - I have the T60.  With Intel video,
network and wireless, everything Just Works(TM).

The most I've had to do is grab the firmware blob in versions of RHEL,
but in Fedora 9 you don't even have to do that.

It's not a very sexy machine, but wow, it works phenomenally well!
