And maybe you should set your decision which distribution you install  
not by how much you like one but by the most easiest how-to and I  
would suggest Parallels as well - except you desperately need 3d- 
support or hate Mac OS X a lot. It runs at over 90% native speed and  
setting up Linux on it is usually damn easy. I've never tried VMWare  
Fusion but if I was you I would try that as well (http:// 
www.vmware.com/products/beta/fusion/)
