            Generally speaking distros don’t make much of a difference.
    Debian is just starting the autodection game, but Knoppix and Gnoppix,
    which are Debian-based, are there already. Other than that, hardware
    support is a funcion of the Linux kernel and X, and these are about
    the same for all distros.

            Complement your Googling with the Hardware Compatibility HOWTO
    at http://tldp.org./ and you should be OK.
