Currently using a thinkpad T40. Works pretty well with FC1. I've
tested it with FC2 briefly - works reasonably well in APM mode.

1.6
1.0GB
80G
1400x1050 (ati 9000)
cd-rw/dvd-rom
atheros a/b
Used usb-2.0 external hdd.

Haven't used bluetooth/modem/ir

BTW RHL9 is already EOL - so, if you need RHL9ish setup - FC1 is the
way to go.
