Lenovo W500 and OpenSuse works great

Out of box, everything looks to be working include controls and wireless. I really wanted Debian but I'll settle for anything. Maybe I'll be able to stop using Macbooks now but we'll see....
 
I'm a loyal lenovo fan too. The only thing I wish they did differently is how that OS restoration button only works with the factory installed OS. I'd love if there was a way to hack that up to be useful for something else.

It's not just a normal ACPI button?
 
I've got a thinkpad too. The trackpoint works as do its left and right click, but the middle scroll button doesn't... Anyone get that to work?
 
I never liked those buttons so I never cared to fix it...

Still pretty satisfied. I got WinXP running in VirtualBox at the bottom. Pretty surprised how well it's all working. Never thought I'd migrate away from Macbooks but it looks like I'm gonna put my Macbook on ebay today.
 
So far I'm pretty satisfied. I got stuck with setting up VBox closed source but it was just a package dependency issue. I still need some way of syncing contacts via google contacts so I had to install iTunes in XP.
