Fortunately for you Craig can tell you a lot about this.  Main issues 
seem to be with graphics cards and sound config.  Although, with 
Mandrake 8.2 we've hardly found any problems. 

Which laptop are you using ?  Be nice if we could get some exact 
hardware details before we go blindly threshing around over things 
that aren't relevant.  Nice to see that yet another person has 
realised that he/she is wasting his/her time with Micro$loth.  If you 
need any help come along to the next meeting.  Have a look at the 
meetings page for that.
