I agree - I did a new install of FC5 on a Toshiba laptop, and the
only problems I had were some unsupported hardware. The system
booted fine after install, and the graphics worked, but I had to do
some tweaking to get it to perform the way I wanted. Updates sense I
did the install take care of the video, and I know where to download
pre-compiled drivers for the wireless card. There are a few things I
still need to tweak, but I would have that in any case, regardless
of the Linux distribution I installed.
