I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the College of William and Mary. I have been using Linux and open source products since ~2000. I have been using Linux on my laptops since 2002. Currently I am using Ubuntu 7.04 on two laptops:

 * Dell Inspiron 600M (Intel Pentium M Centrino, 512MB RAM), posted here: LaptopTestingTeam/DellInspiron600m

 * Sony PCG-FXA53 (AMD AthlonXP, 512MB RAM)

If you have questions regarding those two laptops, feel free to contact me. I will try to help as much as I can.

Below are the list of open issues from using Ubuntu 8.10 with the two laptops above.

== Dell Inspiron 600M/Latitude D600 ==
 * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/285323 | Locked keys after Fn+Up/Dn brightness control]]
 * Adjustment of brightness via gnome-power-manager (see, eg. [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/285323/comments/47]]) does not always work especially if the laptop is just turned on from suspend. Don't know why yet.
 * Autodetect-wireless still doesn't work with /etc/network/interfaces because the new hal suspend script (/usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-suspend-linux) uses pm-utils, and pm-utils seems to not bring down/up the network interfaces at all.
 * Trouble authenticating to WPA2 enterprise network. See [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/304126]]; workaround exists.
 * WPA supplicant still has trouble maintaining connection. Eventually the connection failed.

== VAIO laptop ==
 * The delayed start after laptop resume from suspend is still there, but happened randomly and the delay time varies. Bug entry: [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/312372]] . This bug report seems to be related: [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/226279]]
