Today I got my new Notebook, an IBM ThinkPad R52. It runs perfect with OpenSuse 10.0.
Hardware specification:

  • P M 750(1.8GHz)
  • 2048MB RAM
  • 60GB 5400rpm HDD
  • 15in 1400×1050 LCD
  • 64MB ATI Radeon X300
  • CD-RW/DVD-R Multi-Burner
  • Intel 802.11abg wireless(MPCI)
  • Bluetooth/Modem(CDC)
  • 1Gb Ethernet(LOM)
  • UltraNav
  • Secure Chip
  • IEEE 1394

Unfortunately the Debian installation that I copied from my old IBM ThinkPad T21 works, but has some disadvantages:

  • can’t access the DVD-drive
  • can’t activate the centrino WLAN chipset (IPW 2200). Installed driver and firmware, but it still doesn’t work.
