That's completely dependent on the maturity of a distro if you're
making a generalisation ("any") as I can think of a few that are buggy
as hell - initial EeePCs shipped with known bugs in that so-called
Linux distro - one lovely bug was not accepting non-alphanumeric
characters in WPA passwords, which was useful.  They didn't fix it and
that was day of release in the UK, so I ended up having to fix their
implementation until I could stand it no more and used
Ubuntu/Debian-based distros and array kernels.  Lovely piece of kit,
but the distro was a FAIL.

Some of the Sun-based distros at alpha stage would not even install.
Now, that's buggy!
