[ale] Dell offers Ubuntu 8.04 on new hardware

[James Taylor]

I've been running a MacBook (NonPro) as my primary notebook for about a year.
I wiped the OSX off of it and I'm running openSUSE 10.3 very happily on it. 
 
I picked up a very compact firewire external drive and installed Tiger and Leopard on it so I could boot into OSX for testing apps and updating firmware.

All I really had to to make it work was pull down the madWiFI  trunk to get wireless going.

I believe it came with 2 1 gig sticks.
