I voted but it's not going to happen anytime soon. A major hardware manufacturer supporting a rolling release distro? It's just too cool for it to become reality.

Not gonna happen, I don't even see why anyone would want to. Arch is a distro that features customisability, unlike Ubuntu. If you bought a Lenovo laptop you wouldn't want to have Archlinux preinstalled with Gnome and a bunch of other shit. Sure, you could remove it, but then you could just as well format, partition the drive how you want, install what you want, etc, etc... Gentoo is the same, but even more so since you have USE flags and compile everything.

Ubuntu is the obvious choice...

IMO, i think lenovo should concentrate on designing and fabricating/assembling desktop and notebook machines with components known to work on linux. Rather than pre-loading a linux distro or BSD release on the computer, they should offer to send a CD/DVD of the distro/release with the purchased computer.

I say this because I own a lenovo laptop, and the linux and bsd support (although not officially stated) is superb, everything works flawlessly with minimal tweaking

For the record there's another thread on this topic in the Arch Discussion section: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37173.

No biggie just letting ya know.
