I was able to install the latest Ubuntu distro on a rather obscure old laptop (Medion), with a third party Wifi adapter I installed myself.
It installed without a hitch, I was very impressed.

Krap. I tried Kubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 and everything worked except the Wifi. Wouldn't recognize either of the two PCI cards I have and one of them's three years old. Now aside from the fact that it doesn't work (or maybe BECAUSE it doesn't work), I think they've caught up with Widows in usability. Still gotta work though. Neither FreeBSD or PCLinusOS wants to install at all.

Oh, BTW the “Krap” wasn’t to indicate that I didn’t believe you, just frustration that you could get it working and I couldn’t.
