Notes
[1] It looks like in most cases Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-850S is not recognized by Ubuntu (this affects not only this laptop, see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/10747 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/129708 for details. Nevertheless, it is possible to make the drive work by loading piix module.
[2] Wireless works out-of-the-box in Gutsy.
