update:

I got Debian to load up with the Gnome X environment, the screen size is a little off, but seems stable enough. Takes forever to load. But that is alright. I just love seeing Tux at the top of a Macbook screen. heh.

I will keep playing with other distros. I have 5 of these things to play around with. The RAM seems to be a different configuration than any of the spares I have. It is a Mac, so maybe it is proprietary. heh. From what I can see, it is about $45 for 512MB.
