"The Debian Project is pleased to announce the official release of Debian GNU/Linux version 4.0, codenamed etch, after 21 months of constant development. Debian GNU/Linux is a free operating system which supports a total of eleven processor architectures and includes the KDE, GNOME and Xfce desktop environments. It also features cryptographic software and compatibility with the FHS v2.3 and software developed for version 3.1 of the LSB. Using a now fully integrated installation process, Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 comes with out-of-the-box support for encrypted partitions. This release introduces a newly developed graphical frontend to the installation system supporting scripts using composed characters and complex languages; the installation system for Debian GNU/Linux has now been translated to 58 languages." Update: Debian 3.1r6 has also been released. Update II: Screenshots, and how to upgrade to it.

Do comment(to me) if debian support for macbook got a whole lot better then the previous release or not.
don't know, never had a macbook before, but now they're only nicer PCs... Good ol intel under the hood.
Just out of interest:
Are you going for a double (triple?) boor system, or are you planning on using it as your sole OS?
dual boot with OSX. My g/f loves osx. I think finder sucks and osx just doesn't feel like home...
