I have not yet tried Ubuntu Dapper with my laptop, but the Ubuntu 5.x series ACPI implementation did not work at all on my Gateway 4024GZ: close lid, lock system solid. I used to have to comment out the call to the script that ran when the lid was closed just so the system wouldn't hard lock when I closed the lid. Maybe I'll give Dapper a try and see how it does. Mine isn't the most Linux-friendly laptop, but Ubuntu was the only disto where I could get nearly everything working.
