help with orientation to thinkpad t23

[Janina Sajka]

Keeping Windows just to get a listing of its idea of what hardware is on 
the system is a steep price, imho. Just my two cents, of course, but I 
agree with the advice a few days ago about getting a refund for Windows. 
In my experience, the Red Hat installers I've used have done an 
outstanding job of recognizing the hw on this system. And, if there's a 
question, IBM Tech Support can look up any item right down to the chip 
level from the serial number.
