1: what's the best version / release etc., to install
2: will I lose any hardware features (is all RAM visible / usable etc), sound, HD space, hi-res display supported or will I end up with pixilated shit icons bigger than my nan?
3: can I install on a partition as I'm guessing Adobe haven't release Creative Suite under Linux yet
4: what about running on a network, any issues generally speaking?
5: anything else I should be aware of bearing in mind it is a studio production Mac so I'm not going the full-hog so dual-boot is a must, really
on the provisio yours is an Intel-based Mac
Yes, but dual-booting is a thing of the past now, just run a Virtual Machine under the Linux install you opt for and have it running M$/OSX Lion and use Creative Suite under that.

I had to jump through hoops to get Leopard working under Windows 7 (using VMWare) but Linux/Lion may well be different.
Every now and then I install unix on something, play around for a bit and realise I can do what I want to do more easily on windows things and go back.

Im not 100% why you're doing this...
I like the command line stuff in Linux unix though ESP for piping, grepping and doing stuff with text files... So often thought that the apple OS would be great with the unix command line shizzle and a lovely graphical interface... Bt never been able to justify the higher hardware cost...Yours randomly,Tt

+1 for Cygwin, one of the first things I install when having to work on M$-Win systems for any protracted length of time (you can even install Xorg servers and run a desktop )
There are better things to "fiddle" with you know
I dont quite understand. Do you mean making emoticons?
