Gutsy Gibbon on Thinkpad T-61: First Impressions

So I'm using the Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) LiveCD on my Thinkpad right now and I'm quite impressed. I assume much of the stuff that didn't work was because it was a LiveCD? Not sure. In any case this is a significant jump over what I've got with Debian Etch

What worked?

• Sound card
• 1440x900 Resolution in X
  
• Adobe Flash installation (after adjusting synaptic)
• Intel 4965 Wireless Card with WPA Personal
• Brightness Controls
  

What didn't work?

• Sun Java5/Java6 Installation
• Flash Installation
• Multiple Displays weren't autodetected (not sure if Linux can even do this)
  
• Fancy Desktop effects (who cares, since I'll probably install xfce anyway)

What sort of worked?

• Suspend (on resume screen was really dim)
  
• Volume controls (they showed up on the screen but it didn't impact XMMS)
