Nice if there were, but there is no battery info in the default Conky display on the 12.04.4 install the T400.  Perhaps it has been included in the more recent releases?

I burned the 64bit iso on 2.28.14

The 'revisited' is 32 bit.  Not going there.

Thanks, LXLE, I may get adventuresome, but am quite happy with the 12.04.4 offering.  Even with that release there's a fair amount of tweaking (as with all new installs) to get things to my liking.

From what I've followed here in the forum threads, there's been a great deal of brow beating and oopsies with the 14.04 release.  So much so, I'm not willing to chance all the work-arounds to get it to behave when 12.04 does the job amply.

My 'splorin' days are over.  LXLE does a masterful job at offering me a desktop that stays out of the way, offers the look I prefer and behaves predictably when I 'suspend' the pc.  Besides, it's not loaded with all the eye candy, chin straps and hand rails associated with Ubuntu and Mint; and therefore, is fast and supported thru 2017.  What's not to like?

btw, After having run LXLE on both my desktops since December and comparing to Mint17 recently, I'm even more convinced to stop distro hopping.  That is why I finally decided to lose the Mint 13 on the T400 and install the 12.04.  Still no regrets ~ even the Battery Info indicator on the panel offers the info via stats when clicked.  I can live with that!
