"Although most modern laptops nowadays tend to scare people off with an ugly 'Designed for Windows XP' mark, it does not mean that alternative operating systems, like GNU/Linux cannot be installed and function equally well. In this article I would like to describe a few common issues with Linux on laptops and maybe bust a few myths about using GNU/Linux on mobile computers."

Some may not be content with the limitations of the "UNIX" that is OS X. It's a wonderful OS on its own and of course is tailor-made for the macbooks, but not everything that works in Linux works (or works as well) in OS X. I would consider the intel mac laptops to be the pinnacle of multi-boot laptops though; OS X, Linux and Windows should cover just about anything you could possibly need out of a portable computer, and all three work exceptionally well on macbooks.

Heh... But why install Linux when you already have a fine version of UNIX preinstalled?
