It's perfect if you travel, as the thing's light. Haven't had any hardware issues, but then again I hardly use the modem, so I'll reserve my comments on that. However, before I had this thinkpad I was using a HP Omnibook XE3, and was dual-booting win2k and RH 7.2 on it without any problems. It worked better than win2k on it, as my sound card quickly churned out crap in winblows, but never did under RH... But I would recommend an IBM. All my friends use varying models, but I've had and heard good experiences with IBM in general.
