I have used Boot Camp for Red Hat and Ubuntu, but I do prefer the
convenience of Parallels. I have to work with a large no of OS's
(client and server) and it is quite handy to boot them in a
virtualized state within one environment (in my case OS X).
One advantage of using virtualization software, is not having to mess
around device drivers. I think this has saved me at least a couple
weekends of stuffing around.
Of course, there are lots of Linux'rs using Macbooks with bootcamp
and there is no shortage of help on the net.

Do you boot linux on it with boot camp?

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.

Apple perhaps? Go for at least a Gb of ram with room for more.
You know
you'll need more...

Buy a new laptop. Twice as good and half the price of the one you
had.
Hmm.. 2.66GHz(+) w/512MB(+) - brand recommendations?
