Will I have a problem running any of the hardware on the laptop? Also is there a type of Linux that would work best on my laptop ? I noticed there are different places to get Linux from ... Thanks , Bill

Here is a link to Ubuntu's compatibility page. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport You should be able to find similar pages at most of the other distros. Good luck. If it ain't broke, you aren't trying hard enough.
