I tried it and I'd recommend the use of VirtualBox instead. I don't know the hardware resources of Abdels mac book... but it should work really good. Linux distros are not optimal for the mac book hardware. The usual nasty details like fan control, battery lifetime etc are not well supported. I cannot judge the latest distros - but as I tried I could work without power-supply 4 times longer with Mac OS X as with (SuSE) Linux. Stephan
