Well, I haven't tried FreeBSD on my Centrino-based machine but use Linux
on it with no problem, as far as every day operation goes. Wireless
networking is a little unreliable but still very usable. I use a 2.6
kernel.

If I had another machine of the same type, I would try FreeBSD for you -
not heard of anyone doing so though.
