The Mactel pages that Stamper linked are pretty helpful.  If you're using Hardy, you should have no issues getting a good-working machine, although you will probably have to use proprietary drivers for the wi-fi.  JACK and RT all work great under Hardy.  Jaunty, however, doesn't work so well (at least, on my first generation macbook).  All the macbooks require at least a little fiddling, so be prepared to spend a bit of time ironing out the wrinkles.--
