To me this setup sounds like a perfect Linux candidate. I am still using an ancient Thinkpad (a X200s), which I love dear for its portability. It doesn't run well with Windows 7, but it works great with Linux.

Gregg, if you are new to Linux I recommend something like Linux Mint. It's a relative light-weight distribution and it works well out of the box.
