> nearly all thinkpads are undergoing bios updates because of a security issue.. but cannot be done on Linux. I wonder if someone can build a howto for Thinkpads on Linux. Nonsense. Thinkpads can update the firmware from a bootable CD whose ISO you can download from the Lenovo website. I did this just last week with my Carbon X1. I can guarantee you that no Windows was ever involved.
