You can try it on the live boot and see what all hardware it already installed for. The only thing for sure it will not install during the live boot is the graphics drivers. Sound, USB, wireless cards, etc should be preloaded if it has the drivers.

Odd, because i can swear my old 6.10 version did.. It even had a gui for setting up your wireless card.

-- Does Linux make a good secondary OS? (any dual-boot issues, for instance?)

It actually does good as a first OS.
I use ubuntu linux 90% of the time and only boot windows when i feel like playing windows games.

Your brother seems to judge the OS based on a version he tried ages ago, even though linux has matured alot and the fact that the experience changes depending on your choice of distro.
