    Hi,

    My sister is looking at the new MBs and that just made me curious about the usability of linux on it. I run Arch Linux on my desktop, but I've already read about bad Vista drivers for the new MB, I would imagine the Linux support would be even worse.

    So any linux users running on the new MB, is it hard finding drivers? Any bugs?

    Thanks.
