Just thought I might post how the install went. I managed to get a dual boot setup on my new Latitude:

Intel Core 2 Duo T9800 -2.93GHz, 6M L2 Cache
4GB DDR2-800 SDRAM
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M

and it almost worked perfectly. Video card and ethernet took a little effort to get working, and still don't have sound or wifi yet, but it looks like there may be ways around that. I decided to do this because I'm learning UNIX based systems currently (and it's kind of cool to be able to use both!) Has anyone else ever tried doing something like this and if so, how did it turn out?

I've had it running on a Dell Dimension e310 for quite a while now. I used to have it set to dual boot, but really didn't need it to. I just run OS X 10.5 on it now mostly for work since I work in a MAC shop now.
