John,

I use an IBM T41 as my primary workstation and it's great (surprise, 
surprise :).... but be ready for some quirks with IBM hardware, you might 
want to play around with one for a while to see if you mind...

- Control key is in an odd postion to the right of the function key
- There is no Windows key (meaning no W+M to minimize all windows or W+E 
to open the Explorer)
- That "cat-tongue nugget" pointer can take some getting used to.

Here are Rasmus Lerdorf's notes on the experience of getting one (in the 
family) and setting it up w/ Debian etc.:
