From what I've seen, one thing you should be sure of is support for
the laptop's graphics card. If XFree86 does not include a driver,
there's a chance Apache, Suse, or Xi Graphics provides one, however.
It's good to know about that ahead of time from what I've seen, since it
could be either no problem, a minor problem (requiring a little looking
around), or a large problem (costing you a bunch of money).
