Do you boot linux on it with boot camp?

What distro works with the sata controller by default?

Hi everybody,

This is my first remotely serious post on the list. (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.
