Over the years I've used several Thinkpads and have never had an issue
with any of them running Linux.  Currently, I'm running WinXP and
various flavors of Ubuntu on a T61, booting Ubuntu from an external
laptop drive.

Can't imagine going wrong with a Thinkpad.  Here are some pictures of
mine from a little over a year ago:

Good luck and let us know how things go.
