The Chipset has a problem that there is no one porting X86 to it. If you
read the READMEs that come from the X development group they do mention
this problem. So the problem is not Debian support but X support. I think
the problem was made worse initially because the chip maker was unwilling
to give information about the chip.

Its is not so much a question of a distribution as is a question of Linux
drivers being available. The only difference that has impacted me directly
was that someone has wriiten a filter for Red Hat that allows remote
printing with the normal lpr without resorting to other fancy ways of
trying to accomplish this but otherwise its 99.9% the issue of linux
drivers.
