Got my hands on a MacBook Pro, nice hardware :).
I don't really like the wireless card,
intel wireless would be better,
and I would prefer Intel to nvidia gfx,
but the rest is OK.
The config is very stable running Karmic or Lucid.
Started by using Lucid 32 bit with pae kernel,
and moved to the 64 bit in April, and works great also.
Yesterday night found some time to write up:

Seems pretty easy, and works great.
