BSDs do not support the following for my Powebook:
* Sleep/suspend
* Firewire
* Airport Extreme (linux barely does, but it is getting there)
* Bluetooth
* Processor scaling
* Internal modem (not that I care)
Unfortunately, for a laptop to be useful for me, it needs to be able to go to sleep. For it not to eat batteries, I need to be able to adjust the processor speed. Right now, I'm running Ubuntu (I did a server install -- it is basically Debian with an up to date kernel that supports sleep and all other non-wifi functions out of the box as far as I'm concerned), and I'm quite happy.

I do, and that's all that matters to me. Why the hell do you care what other people are using? Find your own operating system and be content with it.
