similar to: CentOS on new Thinkpads

Is anyone running CentOS on a newish Thinkpad? I have been using Linux as my primary workstation since about 97 and it seems like using Linux as a desktop has slipped over the years. After the Gnome desktop dumb-down, I have been nursing CentOS 6.8 on a 5 yo Toshiba. So I was hoping that someone has some recent real-world experience with new Thinkpads. So is anyone running a new Thinkpad? What

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

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

There seem to be more problems running CentOS and Fedora on new laptops, but that lies in the hands of CentOS/Fedora. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics,

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

Hello everyone, I am trying to prepare a UEFI bootable thumb drive using syslinux and Linux foundations PreLoader.efi. I started the same as as it works with gummiboot-42: * Copy PRELOADER.EFI to EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI * Copy HASHTOOL.EFI to EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI * Copy gummibootx64.efi to EFI/BOOT/LOADER.EFI With just those files PreLoader asks to enroll gummiboot's hash. I do so and

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,

I?ve been struggling with seemingly ?corrupt? data.frames for a few days, and believe I?ve narrowed the problem down to some odd behaviour from read.table I receive a tab delimited file from an external provider where strings are encoded as =?content?. Not sure why, perhaps as most users open it in Excel. My specific issue is that trailing spaces in any of the strings are causing strange results
