When the hardware is not supported, this can get strange. I've done HP Omnibook 6000s and 500s, with the only real problems being unsupported winmodes. Omnibook 510s work okay now, but used to have problems with older versions of XFree86 -- and still have the winmodem problem. I've installed (or helped install) Debian (woody, testing and sid) on a couple hundred of these machines.
For the machines with *fully* supported hardware, stuff seems to work fine with Debian. I had to provide info to debconf, but that's to be exected. I've installed Debian woody, testing and sid on Compaq Evo n400c's, n600c's, and n410c's. The last time I counted, it was somewhere around 20-30 machines.
