If you want a terminal-only setup your hardware requirements are going to be pretty low. If you plan on doing a lot of compiling that's something to consider. The only driver issue you might run into is with wifi, but that's gotten a lot better in recent years. I'd recommend Arch because their wiki/documentation is excellent. And if a minimum setup is what you're after, there is no better than Arch for that. And it forces you to learn some things to get everything up and running.

I'm only concerned of a few things: 1) Display Driver Prefer not to mock around with resolution, color depth settings. Compile and install Xorg + any WM and just "startx" to work. 2) Sound Driver Just work please :D 3) Networking (WiFi, etc) As you said, it is getting better 4) USB (camera + extra external hdd) Any recommended camera that works with Linux? Would be Nice To Have (not a must): 5) Web Cam + Mic (for Skype)
