I’ve had Skype working; I’ve not tried other sound-recording programs yet, though. Following the instructions about “Capture Switch” at http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu#audio_issues were the key trick I needed to get the microphone to work.

Also, I’ve had no trouble with suspend/resume, but have yet to assign the lid-close event to suspend: I’ve been running the shell scripts in /etc/acpi by hand.

Let us know if you get sound recording to work. I have gutsy on mine as well and that’s the one thing not working properly at the moment. (Well, wakeup from sleep is another issue I’d like fixed…)

Slick....but more expensive than Windows on e3:
