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. :)
