I'll give this a shot, but I have reservations about the article being
from 2008. Is the situation re. BIOS compatibility, graphics, etc
still an issue?

On the other hand, so far it's not booting at all, so I'll try it and see :)

Well, I did think about staying with OS X. But it's replacing my older
Ubuntu machine, used for development and all sorts of miscellaneous
stuff. I have a lot of things I just want to move over and keep using.

I'll let you know how it all goes.
