I have one of the A22p's and it is what may be the last in a long line 
of Thinkpads going back about ten years.  I have a 600E, which was for a 
long time the only Thinkpad that IBM detailed RH installation.

I agree.  I had two 760's and both had less than high quality keyboards.

How about some info on Emperor Linux?  I am looking at a replacement and 
want Linux on it.  I can look at Dells and will take your advice.
