I've been dual-booting WinXP and Unbuntu Desktop 6.06.1 on this same Powerspec 7121 machine for months now. I don't see any hardware problems when I reboot back to these OSes after attempting the Gutsy/7.10 alternate install.
Note that I try the altnernate installs now because the 7.04 Desktop-Live install on this machine doesn't work because it appears to hang on the video output (I have a nvidia dual-monitor card which might cause the problem).
I should also note:
