I have gotten them to work in Gentoo, Fedora and Ubuntu. I had least problems in making them work in Gentoo (emerge ati-drivers and kernel module is ready).

I have never had ATI Linux drivers working yet. What is my best chance ? Do you notice a snappier desktop in 2-d and GIMP, mplayer and all of that or is the improvement strictly based on 3-d and gaming?

Improvement is strictly 3D. Unless you plan on using xgl and all the nice stuff (transparent windows, aimations etc.) which is still in heavy development phase.
However, I haven't finished my current Gentoo update with X.org 7.0, so I can't say if it will still work nicely. I plan on using r300 opensource driver anyway.
In any case, fglrx works OK with X.org 6.8.2.
