I don't know personally, but a few things might help other people answer your question: a) What sort of CPU is in the ThinkPad? b) How much RAM does the ThinkPad have? c) As much details about the machine as possible. Basically, if the machine has a standard 386/486 compatible motherboard with at least 4-6mb RAM, then yes, it'll run it fine. I run 386bsd 0.1 (with patches) on an Epson EL3s (386SX-16) with 6mb RAM and 80mb of hard disk. Yes it's a little slow sometimes but fine for a personal Email/News workstation. Cheers Leigh
