Workflows

[Will Senn]

Colin,

This is fantastic. I haven't built from source yet, and I need to 
install a linux, but I'm game. Thanks for the clear guideposts! Off to 
grabbing a sata3 drive for my cd slot adapter and getting mint back on 
the t430! I surely heart my thinkpad - this thing's a beast. I've also 
ordered up a more canonical wifi card, just in case.

Later,

Will
