I've just acquired a use IBM Thinkpad R40 model 2722-GDM.
The major flies in the ointment are the wireless and the inbuilt modem

I'm pretty sure from my Acer that the Atheros wifi also work with some
minor fiddling: I've build the driver from source.
In case the OP is not aware:

It's extremely stable for me. The only issues I've ever hard are the
fact that I can't get my machine to wake up correctly when I try to put
it to sleep, but I've never experimented much on getting it work either
so it might be something simple. I know I'm not answering your questions
about RHEL5, but I thought I would share my experience on my R40, and
specifically mention you can get the RPMs for your wireless through the
third-party repo.
I had no luck getting my Z61t to wake-up under FC5, but it works *very*
well under FC6. I have to imagine, then, that it should work pretty well
with CentOS5 as well, whereas it may not with CentOS4.
