Hey in the vid you said the MacBook had a Atheros WiFi chip? My Toshiba has one of those too, try running the atheros utility under wine, maybe it might just work :/
gOS is an opportunisitic attempt to cash in on the "google OS" hype. It is only a repackaging of Ubuntu distro on the Enlightenment window manager. Summed up, IT IS A THEME, A SKIN, A CONFIGURATION OF DEBIAN PACKAGES WITH CUSTOM ART, disguising as a OS.. It would have been better to call it Geez, that gOS.
Go check out puppy linux, I've had better experience with it, if you need a small and tight OS.
gOS works on x86 hardware, and since Apple switched to Intel CPU's, a mac nowadays is nothing more than just an ordinary pc, making it easy to install almost all the os you've got avaliable for pc's :)
@nerdpill I hate it when the yanks criticise the way we talk. Americans should be the ones who should least criticise ours because their accent is worst! Specially in places like Kentucky, Virgina, and Georgia.
Well, even if the normal Ubuntu install doesn't detect your ethernet for some funky reason, you can turn gOS into standard Ubuntu any time by doing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop". This will let you choose if you want to start gnome (Ubuntu standard) or E17 (gOS standard) with their individual package selection.
I buy your MacBook white

It is neither google nor a different OS.

@takitsu Yeah, but everyone feels like a tard when they say that. Really if you think about it oo-bun-too is just the english inflection of the word.

cool thanks for info. although i am pretty sure a native hard drive install would still require the madwifi driver or ndiswrapper.
