Good luck with it.  Worst case, drop me a line.  You bring your box and 
I'll bring mine to a common location, and we'll compare configurations 
to find out what needs fixing.

FYI, I let Debian give me a KDE default until I realized that sucker 
was chewing up 20% of CPU.  I've switched to Blackbox, with GKrellM for 
panel goodies.

Also, very important -- DISABLE SUSPEND and DO NOT INSTALL LM_SENSORS.  
My own homework indicated that either of those can give grief with 
Thinkpads.
