Ubuntu + Beryl on new macbook pro

[Steve Finkelstein]

Hi all,

I'm most likely going to purchase the new macbook pro which was
announced yesterday with the NVIDIA cards.

Just curious. How much hacking is it going to take to have this machine
run strictly Ubuntu? I'm looking to format os/x right off of it.

Main concern is a working boot loader, operational fans (these are
software controlled as far as I'm aware). It would be ideal to get Beryl
working as well so I have an Expose substitute.

Thanks for any insight on helping me make a decision on my purchase.
