Installing kubuntu 8.04 on a Inspiron 1420N laptop

[NeonChrist]

I'm thinking about buying the Inspiron 1420N (with a few improvements to 
the stock model), but I want to install Kubuntu 8.04 on it rather than 
the ubuntu 7.10 it comes with. I'm assuming that I won't run into any 
problems, and that it should install and recognize the hardware with no 
problems. Does anyone know if I'll need to change any drivers or other 
configuration options to make it run? Will this video card support 
desktop effects?
