Well, there you go. Glad I put that YMMV in :-) Working completely from a weak memory, I want to recall the potential 7200 Linux issues were 1) on-board ethernet (of relevance to Joe), and 2) accelerated video for X (not of relevance to Joe). I think that X is not absolutely required for Mac-on-Linux, as I believe it will launch in full screen mode from runlevel 3 (I've only briefly experimented with that). I guess we're getting pretty off-topic with this, I'll be happy to continue any discussion off-line.
