Abstract: The purpose of this note, as a compendium, is to extend the results on entropic convergence and the linearized limit for the Boltzmann equation (without external force) in cite{Levermore} by Levermore to the case of the Boltzmann equation with external force. More specifically, starting from the Boltzmann equation with an external force introduced in cite{DL16} by Ars'{e}nio and Saint-Raymond, we find conditions on the force, to maintain the result in cite{Levermore} (as an important application of the theory of DiPerna-Lions renormalized solutions) about the validity of the linearization approximation when the initial datum approaches a global Maxwellian.
