Do you boot linux on it with boot camp? What distro works with the sata controller by default?

(Thanks to Andrew Errington for making me aware of it). On the laptop front, I bought a MacBook Core Duo 1.83ghz a few months back, and have been very impressed. Paid AU$2000- inc GST and 2 gig of RAM. Of course, if you buy in NZ you have to pay the NZ Apple distributors "tax"... Goes like a rocket, and triple boots OS X / Linux / Windows - and if you run Parallels (not free, but cheap-ish) virtualization software, you could run multiple linux builds at the same time. (A neat way of testing LAMP server configs) Though as Craig says, you need at least a Gig of RAM, and if your running virtualization software, you will want 2 gig.
