There was a MacBook in at work and as an experiment, I tried Ubuntu Live CD on it. It fully works without any mods or coding within Ubuntu.

This is awesome, I like the way Ubuntu runs on the MacBook. I may get one of those computers, ditch the MacOS and install Ubuntu.

  • what ubuntu version is that? and what gen macbook is that? CD or C2D? i cant get my wifi to work

  • The ubuntu version is 7.04

    We no longer have that MacBook and I didnt make note of the units model #. Sorry.

  • u cannot compare OS X to Ubuntu. In OS X everything just works, in Ubuntu you have to code it :D But still better than winz, where NOTHING works

  • I was not comparing Ubuntu to OS X. Sorry if you misunderstood my video. I was showing how well Ubuntu runs on the MacBook without any mods or coding. I just booted the live CD and it ran perfectly.

  • it would be great to invent new generation networking,free,open source,community maintained."LIFI"--linux fidellity xD,people invented so much BAD things,why not REINVENT THE INTERNET???

  • lol. I'm keeping the Mac OS. Mac OS X is similar to Ubuntu IMO. I may dual-boot Windows if I find that Wine or some other compatibility layer doesn't run properly.

  • Okay how are you doing this? Here's what I've tried. I have Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty (for i386) and the Mac recognizes the CD as "Foreign OS on the volume Ubuntu 7.04 i386" and I tried to get it to boot off the CD (simply selecting Ubuntu in the Start Up Disk option in System Preferences) and restarted. The CD would not take and after a second ejected, so I had to go back into the Mac and assign the hard drive as my start up disk. Am I using the wrong version? I want to put Ubuntu on a USB Hard Disk.

  • yeah i know ubuntu rules i tried debian its fast sure but wheres the eye-candy

  • I know, but when something is not working, or you want some feature the easiest way is to code it on your own :)

    By the way a got a new MacBook wooohoooO! and I also tried ubuntu 8.04 cool with effects!

  • you dont have to "code"(compile) stuff in nubuntu you see noobuntu is based on debian and uses apt repositories

  • wifi isnt opensource so youll have a hard time

    make it ruu you can make it work google its your friend use it

  • ok dont worry about it.
