	I have an IBM-refurbished T30, which has handled Fedora well, up 
through F18. But it never took to F19. I'm in process of trying to 
downgrade, but that seems to be a monumental job. 

	I have other computers, including a T43 and a System76 tablet; 
the T30's chief virtue is that it has a serial port. My GPSs and 
proprietary software still use the serial port, and none of the various 
USB adapters I've tried have done any good.

	But, way back when, I mapped a lot of hunting spots and game 
trails. I want to keep that data.

	Has anyone run CentOS 6.4 on a T30? How about Wine a/o 
virtualization? (I'm thinking running a virtual XP, and seldom if ever 
going online, except occasional quick checks for linux updates.)
