I do have one thing to say. I really don't care which distro I use, as
long as it detects my hardware and makes it successfully run on my
laptop.

laptops have always been a little harder, than desktops. Probably
partly because desktop parts are pretty standard. Anything goes in a
laptop for some reason.

Anyway, my gold standard for a distro, is one in which my Intel Pro
2915 network card is found, setup, and fully functioning when I boot.
To me, getting to the network is everything.

Mandriva 2005 LE did this right out of the box. What others can do that?
