You might try the RH hardware compatibility List
http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/
Linux supports most hardware, although not right out of the box for all. You shouldn't have any problems with cdrom, the rest can be done with minimal configuration. Install, then come back here and take care of the ones you aren't able to on your own.

All but Cable Modem: terajet TJ210.
Internal Cablemodem? USB?
If connected to the Realtek, then should not be a problem.
