One good way is to take a knoppix disk to the 'puter store and boot
the shiny new machine off it.  It'll tell you quick whether you're
going to have an immediate rodeo or not.

The kernel comes with it's own documentation section.  Some good
reading there.

Outside of that, when I'm shopping I look for problems other people
may have had against the wish list I've put together, and see if
solutions are being found.
