i'd recommend using parallels instead of dual booting, i run ubuntu on a macbookpro for some linux specific development running ubuntu, it works well and is nicely performant, in fact it generates much nicer pystones then osx (49k vs. 36k), and its easy to manage, if you something like virtuedesktops, you can have it fullscreen and a keystroke away between switching from mac to linux. the one caveat as applies to some scipy visualization, is opengl performance is all going to be software. if thats a major factor, then dual booting is probably best. http://www.parallels.com/ http://virtuedesktops.info/ hth, kapil Travis Oliphant wrote:

Just to be clear. Are you suggesting dual booting? Yes, that is certainly a possibility (and may be what I end up doing). But, there are nice MAC applications that would be nice to run.
