It should.  Ingy runs OS X on his Lombard.  I ran OS X on my Wallstreet.
Dunno if Ingy's running 10.1 or 10.2.

Apple-option-power is the reboot sequence.  Or ctrl-option-power, I forget.
If you want to clip the spinal column its, IIRC, ctrl-option-shift-power.  
Or maybe ctrl-option-apple-power.  I forget.  It should be printed on the 
back of the machine near the external ports.  This resets the power
manager.

You should never have to pull the battery to shut off a Lombard.

Otherwise it just sounds like you need some more RAM.  Macs like RAM.  A lot.
