Reup is right, you'll be much more likely to have problems with newer hardware than older, since the support has to be added by someone, and most manufacturers don't provide any unix drivers (ATi seem to be something of an exception in that regard, if memory serves). Unstable or testing versions of the distro will have some more support added, but as the name suggests they might not be as stable as the fully released ones. Still, my "unstable" Debian installation is more stable than my copy of Win XP has ever been.
