I recently put RH 8.0 on a Sony Vaio - and I love it.

Everything worked right out of the install.  DVD playback was a snap. 
Modem worked.  The install was extremely painless.  I don't use 
netscape, but openoffice was installed during the initial installation 
and I haven't had any troubles getting to my banks website under galeon.

One thing you may want to consider is the KDE/Gnome thing that RH did in 
8.0.  Personally, I'm a Gnome/Ximian guy, so them messing with KDE 
didn't bother me a bit.
