I've been running Arch linux on my MacBook Air for the past week. Motivated by a strong desire to run StumpWM, I couldn't be happier with the results.

Unfortunately linux doesn't seem to play well with the 'macbook' models keyboard(s) -- I guess that probably applies to the new pros too.

Sure, but then they'd have to deal with Linux.

Linux was the only OS on my desktop in 1994...

how is battery life?

does close-lid-to-sleep and open-lid-to-wake work?

Yup, works great out of the box.

I've been running Arch on a Dell Chromebook and battery life and sleep/wake are essentially the same as with ChromeOS from what I've seen so far. Awesome experience.
