They kinda sorta do. IBM's PCs as a general rule are among the easiest to
install Linux on. I had Mandrake 10 installed on my new ThinkPad R51, and
there was no post configuration tasks required. Everything ran flawlessly the
first time except for the 802.11a/b/g adapter which Mandrake 10's kernel didn't
precompile a driver for.
