The MacBook Pro is plenty powerful enough to handle what you're doing.
Yup, and I've got two gigs of RAM.
Now if you want to "bitbake world" then I'd recommend a 40 GB VM
HD ... just to cover your bases.
What is all this, "world" stuff. I've seen "hello world" also, is it
like a system?
Thanks to everyone who has replied to my posts. You have all been
very helpful. Much more accepting than Apple Discussions.

Somewhat, but you're also learning. For most things, try google
(or whatever your favorite search engine is) first, read through a
few hits, and then if it's still confusing ask the list. Many of
your non- or semi-technical questions can be answered that way.
Im pretty scared about this OE thing because I am running Linux on
VMWare Beta, on my brand new 17" MacBook Pro...Should I be worried?
There is really nothing to worry about. VMware's Fusion is an App
that doesn't modify the OS in any significant (i.e. irreversible)
way; you can always "uninstall" it if you want and you're good to
go just like it wasn't there (except maybe a pref or 2 that are
harmless).
As for the VM hard drive, it's just a file that resides on the OSX
hard drive. You can delete it if you want to, anytime you want to.
If you were running Windows in your VM, then you might worry since
even with the latest patches it's pretty easy to compromise your
Windows box if you happen to download certain torrents from certain
WWW sites. But running Linux in your VM is quite safe - at least
as safe as running OSX as your host OS.
As a VM user, my primary concerns are (1) that I have enough DRAM
on the host computer to support both running - 512 MB per user per
OS is good these days under OSX; (2) that the host hard drive is
big enough - but pretty much any HD will be big enough these
days ... the VM HD really needs only maybe 20 GB or so for most
"usual" things. Now if you want to "bitbake world" then I'd
recommend a 40 GB VM HD ... just to cover your bases.
