True about the details...it's not really for the faint of heart.  I 
assume the reader knows most everything that I know (which ain't hard), 
but is perhaps just a little less adventurous.

PCI) mac.  The kernel that ships with Ubuntu won't work.  If you get 
adventurous, here's a link to investigate:
