I've been rocking Ubuntu for a bit over a year, and I've had very little trouble.
Your wireless card is the key thing. Try a couple livecds to see which distro supports it best. I hate to say it, but I hear Linspire is actually good at handling wireless network cards out of the box.
Finding a decent Megadrive emulator is another issue...

Firefox has been a tad bit too unstable and slow for me in Edgy.
I'm tempted to switch to Opera.

I haven't had to compile much, and when I have it was pretty easy.

If you're going to get some real video card drivers rather than the supplied ones, you ought to nab a copy of elinks so you can still bounce around the internet looking for help if something goes bad.
