I choose ArchLinux, because I used slackware and gentoo in my Desktop machine, and I think gentoo need too much time to complie and slackware is hard to upgrade system. So this time I use ArchLinux in my laptop. 
All the thing goes well, except the wifi need some work.

Get the BCM4312 offical driver and install it.(What a pity:it's no a opensource driver completely:-() But it just work, and I had try ndiswapper, it doesn't do that.
Let's enjoy Linux!
