I have it on the 3e 701 and rather like it except:
1. Pidgin is a POS if you are on server with a large no of channels.
I've installed Xchat.
2. Brasero is fairly ordinary - hard to handle isos. Easy install
growisofs cos the libs are already there
3. Sound recording from microphone is hard (or impossible dunno yet) to set up.
