I spent most of the last week installing and configuring Fedora Core on SWMBO's old Intel based laptop. Having been a Linux guy since '94, I was more than happy to blast WinXP off the disk and install it. Worked out pretty well, just need to get the external soundcard to work properly. This is more of a "I'm too lazy to figure it out" than something is broken.
What I did find was a great set of tools for managing wireless access points. Like most geeks, I have a 802.11b network in the house, which will shortly become 802.11g to support the g cards we seem to have around. It's here, and works great with my D-Link 1000APs. I may just pick up a wireless router and create a subnet off of it for the g clients, because it appears that Best Buy (tm) and Circuit City (tm) don't get a lot of demand for simply an access point.
