That's very peculiar!  I've installed Ubuntu on an enormous range of
desktop and laptop machines, and have never had the problems you
describe.  I've occasionally had issues with wireless connection  (which
are usually resolved with the replacement of NM with WICD), the
occasional sound or video driver issue (which are usually easily
resolved after a quick Google search) and few other problems.  I have
never failed to get it installed and working properly.

I have always found Ubuntu to be the easiest of distros to install and
configure, and MUCH easier than a comparable Windows install!
