[LUG] MBP

 

Anyone got any experience/advice putting GNU/linux on an Apple MacBook Pro 2,1 (2006-ish vintage)? 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM @ 667 MHz, 190 GB HD, 17" 1680x1050 display, 256 MB VRAM (of questionable integrity), RadeonX1600 (PCI), DVD-RW (ATAPI), Firewire 400 and 800, Bluetooth, USB 2.0, built-in iSight camera (USB), 11g, 100 Mbps ethernet, built-in GlidePoint trackpad (USB), built-in backlit keyboard (USB), IR (USB), PC card slot, DVI out.

I'm looking at trying Arch, my first time on any hardware. I've been debian-family only for so long now it's a bit daunting.
