MacBook Pro (Intel) + Fedora 9 (64) + Compiz (Fusion)

What macbook pro version do you have. I have a 5.1 and have not had much luck getting Linux to work on mine. I can get the wifi to work but have had no luck with the sound .

Hi, mine is late 2007, sans multitouch, model. I think 3.1 or later. From Fedora 9 to Fedora 11 I have no issues with anything, anything at all.

For sound, try:

echo "options snd_hda_intel model=mbp5" >> /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

Is the Fedora installation straight forward or are there work arounds I have to go through?

Installation on what, PC or Mac? PC is damn easy. On Mac you've to use rEFIt and then the installation is very easy. But configuring WiFi, BlueTooth, Sound, etc (that too for 64 bit kernel) is not for the faint hearted. But there are documentations available on net, so don't worry.

Linux is kind of easy on a PC. But finding the drivers is sometimes hard, especially when you have a 64-bit OS (because you need 64-bit drivers).
