Galakanokis, a good way to test something like that is to boot from a usb or dvd installer and try connecting to the dock, it'll run slower than when it installs but it'll tell you whether the hardware will work by default.
DoubleF, you're pretty mush right about the different flavours, though I wouldn't say Linux Mint is light weight. Linux Mint and Ubuntu have both created their own desktop environments, to me Ubuntu feels like a Mac with the dock on the left and Linux Mint feels like Windows XP with a modern makeover. Just depends what you like. These days I'm using openSUSE with KDE.
