Hi!



Of course, i've already visit that web site (also others.. :-))...
But, really my question was more complicated, over the installation ...
... what shall you do, if you could choose between <intel laptop> and <mac intel laptop>?

I'd be seriously torn.  I like them both a lot.  Personally, I'd lean towards the IBM for three reasons:
- I like eraserhead mice better than touchpads
- I like three-button mice better than one-button mice.  You can simulate three buttons with the Apple's built-in mouse but it's awkward.
- Apple's hardware reliability has not exactly been stellar.  Seems like most of my friends who have Apple laptops have had a logic board failure at one point or another.  If you do buy the Mac, get an extended warranty and you should be OK.

OS X is really, really nice, but it sounds like you plan to run Linux on it anyway, so that doesn't really enter the picture.
