similar to: CentOS on new Thinkpads

I've had success on "older" model Lenovos.....(T-410 / T-420 / T-430) but anything beyond those seems to have some issue or another. I was even able to swap the standard drive to an SD (250GB) on a T-430 and it's running g like a champ. A lot of the newer stuff is OK as long as you don't have any boutique drivers for video network or sound. YMMV. On Sep 29, 2016 9:18 PM, John

Ok, I see a lot of nice answers here so I would like to try to refine this a little. After some research I was going to skip Lenovo. People are clearly having problems running Linux on Lenovos. I spoke with one person that had a really hard time with their X250. However, I think a lot of problems are caused by bleeding edge hardware. My feeling is it takes at least 1 year before the kernels have

It is very comparable to the Lenovo T460 actually. Anyone run CentOS successfully on either of these? Mike

Hi, Is CentOS good for a desktop machine? I have been using Fedora but the whole GNOME 3 debacle has me scrambling for something else. I have a few "minimal" CentOS servers but does anyone here use CentOS on their laptop? Does wireless and suspend work ok? Are there packages for the usual desktop stuff like libreoffice, sylpheed and so on? Machine is Toshiba Portege R935. It's

Don't flame me, but I really recommend using Ubuntu on laptops. If you really want CentOS, you should go with version 7. Many new laptops won't work well with that either though. CentOS 6 only works well these days on older hardware or on virtual machines. On Apr 27, 2016 7:27 PM, "Brian Bernard" <brian.brianbernard at gmail.com> wrote: Hi all, I'm looking at buying

I'm looking to replace my (old, creaky) netbook (Acer Aspire One D255e, a screaming dual core 1.6 GHz Atom, and a whole 2 gigs of RAM) with something faster but not too large. Sometimes (usually) the netbook is painfully slow. Something like a hi-res 14 (or 15) inch screen (full HD), minimum of 4 gigs RAM, HD of a half terabyte or bigger. I'd like to not have to go over 600-700 dollars,

Hi all, First of all, sorry for the OT. I need to buy a new laptop for my work. My prerequisites are: - RAM: 6/8 GiB (preferably 8 GiB) - Processor: Core i7 - Disk: up to 500 GiB for SATA, 128 GiB for SSD. - Graphics card: Intel HD (I really hate to use Nvidia or ATI Radeon graphics cards).

Hello everybody! Since the update from 6.2-STABLE to 7.0 I'm encountering problems with the temperature of my Thinkpad X60s. Under heavy load, e.g., make builworld or compile gcc or... I get the following output in /var/log/messages: Dec 29 01:53:13 delta1 root: WARNING: system temperature too high, shutting down soon! Dec 29 01:53:13 delta1 syslogd: /dev/:0: No such file or directory Dec 29

I am trying to install CentOS 6 x86_64 on a Lenovo Thinkpad x220. During the installation it asks me to insert a driver. Has anyone done this successfully? -- Rgds, Janne Nyman M: +44 751 696 1842 E: jnyman at jbtec.org

Hi all I checked the archive and it looks like this is a known problem, but no news since Dec 2006. So, I was wondering, is there any update on this problem, as I've tried it on a variety of Thinkpads with up to the latest version of syslinux/memdisk.
