>From my own exterience with linux & thinkpads...
I have a 760cd with 40megs & 3.1G drive running SuSe 6.2,
X-windows & Oracle 8.0
It works just fine..a little slow when Oracle is running. I did have RedHat 5.2
running on my wife's 755cd also. The only gotcha is the x-windows config.
There are a couple of sites that have the needed configuration file for download.

That's an *easy* question. I've used an old 750 running Redhat Linux 4.2
(later upgraded to 6.0) as an FTP, TFTP, and Radius server for nearly three
years with nary a hiccup. My machine only has a 340-Mbyte disk, so I don't
run X. But everything else works just fine.
