I'm sure there are laptops, where sound might be a problem, but in
general it simply works. I never had a problem with FreeBSD's sound
support on a laptop. I even have an old Compaq Armada 1750 here, where
only NetBSD and FreeBSD 4.x support the soundcard without too much
tweaking ("options PNPBIOS" necessary).

Debian isn't too bad either. :)
