Notes
Sound card not automatically detected. Can be fixed afterwards: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller
Crystal Eye web cam can be installed via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyCam
Compiz works after installing 'xserver-xgl'. The Intel G965 graphic chip is not fully supported by Gutsy. There are presently problems with 3D applications like Google Earth or games. Feisty did not have theses problems.
