I just wanted to say that if you ever plan on running Linux on your machine, don't get a Mac.

Ubuntu in particular works, but there's a lot of hacking to get it to do so and little issues abound (at least that's my experience).

Did you try running under parallels?

Anyway, 5 years ago, getting Linux running on a Powerbook was really easy... I would think it would be better now, not worse...

The issue is EFI. The new Intel-based Macs do not use BIOS.
