The Simpsons:
At Itchy And Scratchy Land (pre-death-robot-rampage)

Helicopter Pilot: "Welcome to Itchy And Scratchy Land, where nothing can possibl-y go wrong"
*Family looks at each other*
Helicopter Pilot: "POSSIBLY go wrong... sorry, that's the first thing that's ever gone wrong..."

Supposed to be a hint as to what will happen later in the episode.

I'd assume as well as any other computer with a 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo and 2MB of RAM but I can't be sure.

I was quite impressed that with the latest version of Ubuntu the Airport wireless was usable without any workarounds. So far I haven't run into anything that hasn't worked actually, though I don't use it that often. Don't think I tested the bluetooth either.

I mainly just use it as a learning experience, just finishing the first year of my Computing Science degree. Use Windows through VMWare Fusion to run a few programs like Borland Together Architect for UML. Everything else I stick with OS X.

Following the guide on the Ubuntu website itself, I was able to install it on my MacBook alongside OS X plus use rEFIt to get a nice boot menu when I start up. There were a few specific points I wouldn't have been able to do without the guide but then I'm hardly a Linux professional.

Other than that, it was pretty pain free. What problems were you having in particular?
