*goes back to lurk mode and contemplates the buy button on the apple store page* how did you know... ----- Original Message ----- From: Flint Heart <N-Tropy@n-tropy.com> To: Philadelphia Linux User's Group Discussion List <plug@lists.phillylinux.org> Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 10:56:20 AM GMT-0500 Subject: Re: [PLUG] MacBook Pro - Linux compatible hope this link helps. http://modular.math.washington.edu/macbook/ For what its worth i've heard mention of many ppl triple booting their MBP's. for some its the unltimate dev box cause they can compile builds for all their main targets. On another note upgraded MBP's are shipping next week. core2duo. 2.16-2.33 ghz, now dual layer dvd burner and fw800. as far as wireless goes there are cutouts in the aluminum on the edges of the lcd filled in with plastic where the antena's are. wireless works well enough for me. antena's run on both sides and If i remember correctly whichever one gets better wireless is used for ethernet and then the other side will be used for bluetooth. *goes back to lurk mode and contemplates the buy button on the apple store page* On Mon, Oct 23, 2006 at 11:21:10PM -0400, W.

There is a built-in camera and backlit keyboard which I'm curious about. Also, I heard that with the aluminum case the wireless is kinda crappy. Anyone have one of these? > > -- > W.
