I really toyed with the idea of doing the "Deep Thought" thing from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. You know, "I have the answer, but I don't think you're going to like it..." But I didn't think anyone would dislike the answer, and it's not really an answer, it's more of a revelation... But really doesn't have the impact of a REVELATION...
OK, I'll stop...
I put Lighthouse 64 on the T410s.
Yeah, I did. Honest.
The touchpad still won't accept taps, and moves the cursor like the touchpad on the CF-29, but it DOES scroll. The trackpoint works fine, though. As does the 'Suspend' command. And the wireless.
So, on a leap-of-faith whim, I just did a frugal install. I can play with it for a while, get the feel of it. I like the looks of Lighthouse, and (beyond the touchpad oddness) the system works smoothly. And it's 64 bit, so it's quite spry on the i5. (Or at least it feels that way to me.)
And, after all, it's not like this is permanent.
This is Linux. You can do anything you like... ;-)
