Planning on a new system

I'm planning on getting a Gateway with this configuration. I'm just wondering
if this hardware is supported by kernel-2.4.18? I'm not sure of the chipset,
audio, or nic. How bug free is the bios? Any advice would be helpful. By the
way what's up with majordomo?
Thanks, --Lou
