I haven't had a chance to check DVD. As it stands I don't think I can
recommend this laptop as long as Suspend/Hibernate doesn't work
correctly. If you're prepared to reinstall the OS (possibly with
Debian Testing) it might be worth it, and it's certainly fast enough
to do all you describe, the limiting factor being its 512MB of memory.
