Just spoke with one of my colleagues about IBM.
x31 is a steal and everything 'works' He is running Gentoo on his x31.
Don't touch the x41.
Of course x60, "It's a F*****G IBM". Well he's an old army NCO...

I've been seriously considering the Thinkpad X60s series as my top
choice. The specs look great, but I'm trying to find more detailed
reviews from an actual user (like you did for the nc4010).
I've got a Z61t, which is somewhat similar (I believe), and love it.
I'm running FC6 on it, and just about everything works. Video (intel)
worked out of the box (including the stupid 3D desktop effects). The
ipw3945 wireless required some tweaking (not much), but works up to
and including WPA2. Suspend/resume worked out of the box, but sucked
a lot more power than it should -- changing the scripts to unload the
USB modules before suspending fixed that. And the SD card reader
worked briefly with some kernel versions, but has stopped working
again (and I haven't bothered looking into it). Oh, and the
integrated webcam has never worked. The fingerprint reader can be
made to work, but, again, I haven't bothered.
From a hardware standpoint, the Thinkpads feel very solid. I have a
user
with an X60 (running XP), and she loves it. The thing is definitely
tiny and light.
