Well, that's funny. Your hardware is even older than mine! I ended up putting Debian on the X40 without issues. I was rather surprized to find it has a graphical installer these days.
One of the reasons for my foray into eink has been my growing dispair at laptops. I think the X200 is supposed to be about the last of the thinkpads with a proper (non-chiclet) keyboard and I'm getting sick of long hours in front of LCD screens. I'm thinking about using an Eink tablet and a mechanical keyboard most of the time.
For reading PDFs, since I annotate alot, I still tend to just use paper so I haven't really looked into that much yet. Though increasingly one seems to have to read everything off a screen.
I agree that there wouldn't have been significant hardware changes. I'm increasingly suspicious of SD cards though, as I gather than a large proportion of the branded ones are fakes and I haven't found much help in identifying which are the authentic ones besides when they have obvious failings (hence the fakes I guess). So one is never sure of what one is dealing with and I can't be sure that I've got actual Sandisks.
