Macbook - a perfect Linux box?
I have been using Linux for over 3 years now and when switched to a Macbook I just did not want to give it up. So grabbed the latest version of Ubuntu (Edgy Eft) and made an installation. Following a howto posted in the ubuntu forums it was a rather painless task. The only big thing not working was my wireless card. And here was the problem:
Apple changed the wifi hardware to a better version in Core 2 Duo MB, which will probably support faster standards in the future. So I guess I will have to wait until the madwifi-project will fix this issue... fortunately this problem is already known and being addressed.
OK, but even with all the hardware working there are lil drawbacks: The Apple keyboard, even if its quality is very nice, has a different layout than the standard pc one. Keys that I used to use quite often are just missing... For example the "DEL", the "END" and the keys for page up and down scrolling... or AM I missing something??
