I have the EXACT same hardware, but am running FC10 on mine. Works just 
great. And I have both suspend and hibernate working. Ethernet and WiFi 
work with NetworkManager with no problems, so far.

As nice it is to stay with Centos across the board, I am moving more 
into using FC for notebooks. However, I am still reluctant to make the 
move on a notebook that is my 'workhorse'; I need more stablity for 
something I count on for my job. FC is for tools.
