well it of course depends on your patience :-) It took me quite a while to install a proper linux build on my Sony Vaio Laptop. If you have not tossed the thing yet i would recommend that you get a version of Redhat 7.3 or 8 and install the .rpms at PLanet CRMA (grab the ACPI Kernel under System..that should fix your soundcard and or modem problem i am betting.

I have a negative experience to share: avoid mixing Compaq presario 700 and Suse. The normal audiocard (soundmax) was impossible to configure (modem as well), until eventually lost my patience. I would say that computers that are perfect for windows don't work always in linux. Maybe buying a system that comes already with linux is the best choice (some shops and sites in the internet have that choice already).
