oh...n i dont lk macs...
Have run multiple distros on mine 2 laptops (both asus: A6R /F3TC)
The A6R give alot of sound problems (google on "linux A6R sound") but for the rest its running smootly on most
distros (sometimes have to reconfigure X but whats new)
And the F3TC is a really nice laptop (A6R is now atm from mine children
) can run a lot of distros but need
the latest kernel and sometimes need to install madwifi (wlan) because a lot of distros have problems with the
Atheros wifi chipset. The nvidia geforce 7700 go is regconized in many distros and nvidia has of course driver
support for linux... so you can overcome that hill also....
just mine 2cents for your post....
