Most everything should be supported. Typically a laptop's modem isn't supported since they are "win-modems". You can always check the HCL here to find out if it is supported, or download and burn a Live-CD version to verify that you laptop's hardware is supported before you delete windows.

When I said "check the HCL here", I meant the link on the right side of the page
