Linux works out of the box
One of good things said about OS X is that OS X works out of the box. But it doesn't work out of the box on any hardware - it works out of the box *on mac hardware*.
I believe same can be just as well said about Linux: It works out of the box... on mac-level hardware
Or, to be exact, Linux generally works out of the box on quality hardware.
If you stay away from obscure cheap crap (or expensive crap), and get distro that is not too fundamentalist about open source and includes closed source drivers (such as mandriva), everything works "out of the box" (as in you put livecd, boot, and voila).
