Hi Christopher,
Huh.. not that I'm against writing my own drivers, but I have plenty of brand spankin' new hardware that worked great the first time. My HP Omnibook 4150 ( top of the line when my company bought it a couple months back ) was no problem to get working with Debian. USB, video, audio, PCMCIA, APM.. Although I wouldn't call the X config newbie-friendly, it's really not as bleak as you're making it out to be.. it's just a matter of looking at the manual if it doesn't look right after the initial install. HTH, HAND.
