Congratulations comrade on your fine conquest!

All kidding aside, I have a 1st gen MacBook, I will say that OSX performance was marginal at best. So...I put Xubuntu on it, and it runs awesome! Even with a bunch of things open, it doesnt slow down. Normally, I run Virtualbox with an XP install, maybe my linux of the day flavor that i'm playing with. Also Chrome, and LibreOffice for work. It runs like a bat out of hell now.
