I run AROS natively on several MacBooks :)

@Bloodline: very interesting. OSX stinks. Does it boot from GRUB2 in EFI mode yet? Or do you have to rely on legacy BIOS emulation layer?

Does the touchpad work smoothly or does it have the same skippy tact found in current Linux drivers?

Does HDA-Audio sound and 3D graphics work for Intel (X3100, 2008 models) work well?

thanks
GRUB boots via the BIOS emulation, and none of the Mac hardware is well supported, but the generic drivers work fine.
