Whatever you will have to make a custom kernel, I didn't find it that bad after all as a newbee. Only I got another problem my sound card, a Aureal Vortex, was not supported although I understood it was. At the internet I found a driver with clear step by step instructions on how to install it. Which type of soundcard do you have? Knowing this would enable people to give more detailed instructions.
