I've had a Macbook pro for 1 year running OSX, but I really miss Linux. I read plenty of docs but I never got a useful answer to the following questions: 

1. How's the autonomy with Ubuntu/Arch/Fedora/Suse or other distributions?
2. How does the touchpad work? I really love the 2 & 3 fingers touchpad gestures in OSX.
3. Is it possible to utilize the same `acpi` control in Linux, as in MacOSX? I never reboot my mac just close the lid and it gets sleepy.

Do you guys use a Linux distribution on your Macbook pro? I have the 7.1 model.
Do you have major issues with these features?
