I am vouche for Mint 9 (64-bit) since I have it installed on server at home. This server is rsync backup server. I use it to backup my PVR computer. I use etherwake to wake it up to do nightly backups. So although I can't comment on the HAL changes, I can say for certain that WOL works on this distro version. I had previously installed Ubuntu v10.10 on this server but WOL did not work. This is main reason why I switched to Mint 9, I needed WOL to work because I didn't want the server to be running unnecessarily and wasting electricity.
