They were using reFit as a boot loader and I was pretty impressed with the set up. I had seen my fellow colleagues dual booting into OS X and Arch Linux. Now this is where the 320GB HD comes in handy :) I liked the Arch philosophy and it looked like a good candidate for a dev platform. We have a few people at the office that are running Arch Linux and our summer intern showed me some pretty cool features of the OS. Recently I have become less impressed with OS X as a development platform and have been wanting to try another OS. The reason for the HD upgrade was two-fold, one was a slight bump in performance (7200 RPM) and the other was obviously storage size. Procrastination pays off again! Installing the 320GB drive in the unibody MBP took all of fifteen minutes. I had been putting off re-installing and upgrading the hard drive in my old MBP for a while. This time around the hardware I couldn't resist was the unibody MacBook Pro. Every once in a while I will assert my seniority and upgrade to the latest and greatest Apple hardware and pass mine on down the line. We just hired some new people at Six Feet Up which means we had to buy new laptops.
