Just to reply to this, i have just installed ubuntu 9.10 on the exact same laptop, and it's working fine. Tried firefox, crossover (MS Excel, MS Word, MS Powerpoint, Navicat, Dreamweaver 8), media players, burning cd, mac lin themes, gnome-menu, 3d desktop, ps3 media server etc.. and they are all working fine. Did experience a few application crash but nothing that required a reboot. So i would recommend using ubuntu.
