I have a G3 iMac that I picked up for $50.00. It only has 64mb of ram right
now. I'm going to upgrade it and install Debian, just for the fun of it.

Contrary to your experience, PJ, I have found MacBook
Pro laptops to be very easy to get up and running with Linux. No adventure, no
snags, it "just works".
When a model is brand new, it might have some driver
issues, but after a while it gets sorted out, and then
it works like a charm. I am speaking of my own experience
and from seeing several colleagues install Linux on their
MacBook systems, sometimes using it as their primary OS.
For dual booting, check out REFit, it's really convenient.
Of course, the ease of installation is all due to the
fact that MacBooks are only available in very few
variations, and stay on the market for much longer
than any particular PC laptop. But Linux on a MacBook
has always been a really enjoyable experience for me.
Having said that, my next laptop will still not be a
Mac. To me, Apple negated all their good karma in one
blow with the Samsung lawsuit, and it will take a lot
for me to get back in the Apple camp.

Its main purpose is to supply Apple hardware drivers for Windows.
As a Boot Manager it's way down the field. rEFIt is a boot manager
that takes over after the Mac boot rom starts up, then transfers
control to every OS I ever tried multi-booting on Mac h/w, ppc or intel.
