Perhaps you didn't quite get what he meant.....

Nowadays, you'd expect any good distro to be very good at detecting hardware 
and automagically loading the right driver or module for it.  

My experience has been that Suse and Mandrake usually get it right - Debian 
has always been real grief to install and configure (for me!), so I've 
avoided it for a good while.  Debian's probably better than it was, but I'll 
still stick with distros that I find easy to install, configure and maintain.
