If you had a new machine you could have gone for a straight upgrade and installation for karmic. This old laptop am using is running
on karmic and except for the hardware failures i have had no problem, i actually think if it was windows it might have ground to a halt ages ago.

I also considered a mac, but couldn’t get past the 13 inch screen and price tag. I got a similarly configured Toshiba recently for $700 and Ubuntu Jaunty runs well on it (haven’t had the guts to upgrade to Karmic yet). It was a tough decision though, I spent much time gazing at the Mac as I considered the options. I agree that sometime Linux does not adequately support all hardware and upgrades are tenuous. Let me know how the switch goes.
