Finally a new notebook

After starting my quest in May, I finally found a new notebook for me. I decided to buy a 2.0 GHz MacBook Pro at the new McShark Apple Center in Linz. Though not really cheap, it is so much fun to use, and so much better than my old iBook in many ways. Compiling programs works like a charm (and using make -j n shows a great improvement), everything works just so much smoother, and I really appreciate the much bigger screen (15,4", after all!). Rosetta integrates absolutely flawlessly, and even games with no Intel update yet (at least Ghost Recon and Quake 3, that's what I tested so far) work with absolutely no feelable performance penalty.

Wie siehts denn mit der Linux Unterstützung aus? Grundsätzlich hätte ich ja Lust auf so ein Ding, nur müßte Dual-Boot dann halt laufen. Kannst du was dazu sagen?
