You should have no problem running Linux on a mac. With the intel chip in the new mac, just boot a live cd or install a conventional distro and you should be on your way. If the drivers for the mac hardware are too different, though, from those for hardware under x-86, you might encounter some trouble there. I have never tried it, but I don't see that you should have any trouble with it. Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C. Computer Scientist For CHRIST
