I've tried Thinkpad models X200s, X201, and X300
with Plan 9. Each of them PXE booted over ethernet
(with the Intel cards) and using the local file server
as root fs. Graphics, input, etc. work very well and
Plan 9 runs very smoothly here. I haven't tried sound
or anything.

I boot into Plan 9 on my Thinkpad (the X200s) only
occasionally, since I have another machine to serve
as a terminal already. So, I haven't had chance to try
everything.

Of course, there is no WiFi - and in my setup, where
the root fs is a Ken FS file server on the local network,
and remote booting is required, I doubt there would be
any use for it either.


Best,
ak
