I wish that hardware manufacturers would jump on board the Linux development because that would help out a considerable amount.

I've been messing around with Linux many years before actually switching over and I've found out that Ubuntu is the only Linux-based OS that detects my WiFi card and all my other hardware. (For example: Freespire detected my WiFi card but not my graphic card! Imagine that...) Fedora 6 still didn't support my WiFi card, nor did OpenSUSE 10.1! But hey, with so many hardware on the market, no people being able to work full-time on these projects, and almost no hardware manufacturers helping them, it may take a long while before Linux supports all hardware. Add to that that hardware manufacturers keep making new hardware and you'll see why it's so hard for volunteers to make all of this work. They’re working on it all the time though.

Linux always has relatively low system requirements to run so I wouldn't think that you would have any issues. I'm guessing your biggest problem would be driver compatibility, and that is probably why Ubuntu ran into troubles. yeshu wrote:

I'm guessing that other distributions will also be jumping to add PulseAudio in their next releases. It’s definitely cool.
