FreeBSD runs fine on (the much older) T23. IBM's pretty good for compatibility AFAIK.
Apart from perhaps ACPI and some of the hotkeys/fingerprint/other gizmos laptops have on them thesedays you should be fine. |

In addition to the resources you listed, these pages address some IBM-specific concerns and were helpful to me in installing FreeBSD 6.2, 6.3, and 7.0 on IBM T23, T41, and X22 laptops:
FreeBSD On Thinkpad T41p FreeBSD 6.1 on T42 FreeBSD 5.x on T41 <---older but has some useful information Good luck and I hope this turns out well for you. I am very happy with 7.0 on my T41 ThinkPad. |
