Suspend and hibernate still seems to be a big issue based on forum posts. Really focus on fixing it, even with proprietary drivers.

Mark original installation  
Written by millybreak the 15 Sep 08 at 10:48. Category: Usability. Related to: Synaptic package manager. New
Supported applications/packages are indicated by an Ubuntu-icon, to make it easier to find "safe" installations. There is, however, nothing to indicate what belongs to the original installation.
Marking such items with, f.i, an asterix, will provide an easy way for less experienced users to avoid uninstallation of packages that belong to the original Ubuntu installation, thus keeping their system safe and stable.

This idea came up after reading Pjotrs' "Do this first" tips, where it is suggested to NOT remove originally installed pacakages, and then finding out there's no way to see which those are.

OpenJDK doesn't work as good as Sun Java JRE. OpenJDK is simply not ready from prime time and therefore installing ubuntu-restricted-extras should give you Sun Java.

Developer comments
As pointed out by vexorian, Sun java JRE is also available in the package sun-java6-jre.
