Question Can ThinkPad X200 install Red Hat Enterprise 6 X64

the most serious poblem is drivers,I can't find any drivers about X200 for installing RHEL 6 X64 on the offical site.

Maybe. RedHat like any linux distro can use one of three ways to load a driver.

One is native built in kernel.
Two is to add in some driver in a native linux mode.
Three is some drivers can be installed using ndisdwrapper.


So, to get a totally unsupported system running without using the red hat service that you should paying for is to use one of the three methods.

Since RHEL6 is based largely on Fedora 12 and 13, this may help:
