If you have the funds, get a used, off lease Thinkpad and put Linux on
it. I have loaded Yellowdog numerous times on my ibook. It runs. But the
power management is a disaster. Granted, I haven't tried it in over a
year. I expect it has improved. 

If Yellowdog fixes it so I can turn OFF the annoying throbbing light on
the front that says "I'm sleeping. See how F$%KING _CUTE_ I am" I will
wipe OSX in a heartbeat...
