hello
As a promoter of the zerodollarlaptop project, I would suggest that:
- you only change your harddisk for a better, faster one, may be a ssd,
- install a double or triple or quadruple boot, to have any distro
you want. My mac with double boot puredyne and osx is perfectly
working. (boot with efi)
About the zerodollarlaptopproject:
-industry of computers is a disaster, in terms of mining, ressources,
politics, ecology, society, human costs
-most of our computers have reached a sufficient level of performances.
-growth is impossible to sustain if we want to live on this planet.

My trusty MacBook Pro is getting a bit on in years (four years old now)
-- no hardware problems to speak of yet, but this is approaching the
mean time to fail for laptop hard drives. At the same time, I've been
using puredyne Linux on a netbook and enjoying it a lot. (I'd also
consider ubuntu studio but don't need the recent flashy gnome stuff -
puredyne uses xfce4 which, while antiquated vis-?-vis UI features, is
FAST.)
