Early Christmas

The new laptop, whose estimated shipping date was December 7th, arrived in Vernon this morning, which is pretty awesome because hopefully I'll be done with this contracting work right before I go home for Thanksgiving, which means I'll be able to spend plenty of time playing with it. I figure I'll boot it into Windows just once to make sure all the hardware is working (and that I got the right screen) and then immediately throw in the Gentoo install CD. I found this article on thinkwiki.org specifically about installing Gentoo on the T60p, which should be close enough to the T60 to get most if not all things working properly. And it's not like I don't know some of the best linux people around anyway, both of whom have fairly extensive experience with linux on IBM laptops.
