Ubuntu on my T60

I moved from Gentoo over to Ubuntu 8.10 recently. It mostly works fine out of the box. The only thing that is flaky is suspend which I haven't quite figured out how to get working solidly.

Some tweaks though: I largely followed:
this to get some of the non-free stuff such as Google Earth, and this one in order to install a recent Eclipse version (Ganymede, 3.4).

Plus, I installed tuxcards and last not least xminds, a decent mind mapping tool that finally makes freemind redundant for me. Xmind also comes as a plugin to Eclipse which makes productive writing and note taking much more integrated. Nice one.
