To cut to the answer. The easiest way to use your MacBook as an X-Windows terminal is to use the supplied X11.app. Run the terminal-xterm then enter the following.
ssh -X your-linux-username@linux-host-name.domain-name
now run any X11 program.
ssh -X your-linux-username@linux-host-name.domain-name
now run any X11 program.

My personal favorite flavor. Debian at its heart, with a strong GUI, regular updates, and an incredible update network. Recently they began supporting a server as well as the usual workstation/desktop version. I run it on a laptop quite nicely and on my video server.

You can go the Bootcamp route to getting Windows on your Macbook or you can install parallels and run Windows under OS X. With the soon to next release of Parallels the choice is easy-Parallels. Run applications in their own separate window on the OS X desktop or run in full screen mode. It even works with Vista. First buy and install Parallels from here. But follow the trail there is more.
