Are you looking to replace the stock OS with a pure Linux system? I know quite a few people that have tossed out Mac OSX and just run Linux on the bare metal on those MacBooks.
I would seriously consider this. There are enough older Macs out there where it's worth it for me to buy one just to play with it.
It seems like, with these Intel-based Macs, it'd be even easier to get a native Linux system running and not have to deal with the Mac OS anymore.
That assumes that the Mac OS is a pain. I actually kind of like it. I don't completely understand it yet, but I don't have to completely understand it to be productive. And (if I believe all the reports) you can look under the hood and tweak things easier (albeit maybe not quite as good as other "open" nix distros). Rog
