Or dual boot. Pretty much all the standard Mac hardware is fully supported under Linux these days.

I'd second that except for one thing.. I swear you could use a macbook to bludgeon an elephant to
death, they are so heavy!

I run Ubuntu on my Mac Mini at home, and I dual boot between Ubuntu and MacOS on a MacBook Pro.. but
it's just so heavy I generally carry my Vaio.. The MacBook battery life ain't that great either.

I'm drooling at the new TZ series Vaio now.. waiting for my TX to fall over :)

My next desktop will be either another Mac Mini or an iMac.. the hardware is great (and very, very
quiet - which is my desktop benchmark)
