Assuming you wanted an answer... For one thing the powerbooks got 'close lid, sleep, open lid wake up, grab a fresh network connection and continue' right about a decade ago and the odds of that working with any PC hardware/OS combination even today are pretty dismal and it makes a laptop nearly useless if you can't just open it in a new location and click the next link on a page within a few seconds.

It is personal preference. I have a Macbook Pro running Fedora 12 just fine. It does go to sleep and wake up and reconnect with ZERO issues.
I also have a Macbook Pro running CentOS just fine as well. However Fedora is a lot farther ahead driver wise and application wise. It also took longer to configure CentOS to a good state.
