In an interview with LinuxPlanet, Rajat Aggarwal, Lenovo's worldwide product manager for ThinkPad T Series, said that Lenovo will sell the new T60p laptop both on its Web site and through its direct and indirect sales channels.
All of Lenovo's distribution partners will be in on the T60p action, include D&H, a new distributor just signed this week, according to Aggarwal.
"But we are not pre-loading it with Linux," he told LinuxPlanet.
Still, Lenovo will be breaking new ground with the level of support given to Linux by a major laptop manufacturer, according to the worldwide product manager.
