I'd have to disagree. I'm on a Linux list and a lot of them are very impressed by this move. More than a couple have said they're going to buy one for a family member/friend, then hope to convince them to install Linux later on. And remember, the vast majority of these guys are pretty Intel-centric. Cooling issues? Perhaps, but the design team *does* have a track record in that department. -- Non Illegitimi Carborundum -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
