No sound. Everything else works.

Thinkpad 600E

6.06 installation from the live disk didn't work. "ubiquity" hung after choosing the keyboard. There was a zombie process that looked like an X keyboard selection program (but I didn't write it down at the time). Installation from the 5.10 disc worked fine, so I expect that text-mode installation of 6.06 would also work.

Couldn't get it working. snd_nm256 was the only driver that would load without errors, but there still weren't any devices availabel after it loaded.

Toshiba Portege 7010CT (with docking station)

Resolution too low, but dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set the resolution to 1024x768 and bit depth to 16.

The ethernet interface in the docking station works fine.

Sound works!
