It is. I forgot to send a link with the announcement :|

No, I googled for specific keywords to find existing pages. These links
eventually belong in their own Laptop-model pages.

What I prefer is to have one single page per Laptop model. And a different
section for each CentOS version (starting with the latest, CentOS-5
first).

If people have their own blog articles or webpages about their laptop
model, I would like to have this information reside inside of that page
(now they are on the index page temporarily).

Sadly, for now, you have to request access to be allowed to create or edit
these pages. I hope in the future we will have a more liberal view wrt.
the wiki.

PS I created this structure for your X60 for now, I plan to add my own
laptops soon (but it does not include a X60). If you can add your
information to this existing page, I am sure this is very valuable for
another X60 owner.
