Didn't Lenovo used to get Thinkpads certified by Ubuntu and RH ? Did they give up on it ? That only leaves Dell as the other main vendor (not counting smaller niche players) that still gives a shit.
Edit: Looks like they still do, just that certification doesn't mean shit. This is more RH and Canonical's fault than Lenovo's. What's the point of certifying something if you can add a note (as Canonical did) that suspend/resume doesn't work.
