[NBLUG/talk] Ubuntu 10.04

[Emanuel R]

Hi all,

I just had to share that I successfully installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my 
Thinkpad T60p.
Even though the official release isn't out yet, I was very pleased to 
find out that everything works right out of the box so far:
Sound, microphone (including recording), touchpad, sleep/wake, 
suspend/wake, suspend on close lid (wow!), wifi (Network Manager, with 
WPA2, believe it or not), external monitor...A dream come true.

The default theme is just beautiful. Also, gotta have Gnome-Do (thank 
you Kyle for introducing that a while back) with the dock station 
activated. Just upgraded from 8.10: what a difference.

I should probably mention that I do have 2GB of RAM installed with 2.4GB 
of swap space (for suspend).
The only thing I haven't really bothered trying yet is the finger print 
reader.

Oh, I do have a problem with the CD-RW / DVD drive. Can't read home made 
CD's. No sure why yet, but same thing was happening with 8.10. It keeps 
telling me that I have a blank CD in the drive. Maybe a hardware issue?

Cheers,

Emanuel
