This is my most needed feature in linux. I want zero 'connect/disconnect' sounds and if the laptop is asleep I don't want it to wake up in the middle of the night for no reason.

I have an infinite supply of Windows laptops from work but I hate them with a burning passion and I can't afford to replace my Macbook.

If someone can tell me what linux distro is the most silent and least annoying I will erase my entire Windows partition this weekend.

It's linux, so basically anything it does that you don't like you can learn to fix yourself. I'd shy away from Gnome (because they like you to have less control, or, less easily anyway), maybe try FrdoraKDE or Mint, popular distros with lots of help online.

If you have "an infinite supply of windows laptops" I'd pick a thinkpad that isn't your main and try it out on that, what do you have to lose? You'll still have your main untouched (until you see the glory of linux and install different distros on all of those laptops, but that'll come later..)
