Installation of Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) almost works out of the box for Compaq C702TU Laptop. It is an 'almost' because there are a few glitches here and there. However it is possible to get the system up and running with very little manual configuration and additional driver installation.
Three areas where there are problems are
a) Wireless driver support
b) Graphics card support.
c) Acceleration and speed of touchpad
