[Gllug] Thinkpads

[James Roberts]

We sell Thinkpads (that's not an offer or soliciting customers!).

The point is, Lenovo formally support Linux. Ours run Debian.

Richard is completely correct, and Lenovo will in any case request that 
the HDD is removed before a unit is returned, so the point is generally 
moot. The only exception is when the warranty claim is for the HDD, and 
running Linux on it will not affect the claim.

It's also practically moot because we have never processed a warranty 
claim on a Thinkpad chassis - in sharp contrast to Lenovo chassis! We 
have seen a few Thinkpad HDD failures, of course. However we do not sell 
at the PCWorld scale :)
