Did you know your MacBook not only runs Mac OS X and Windows, but a lot of lesser-known operating systems? If you’ve ever thought about getting your geek on, Friendly Linux has a tutorial on how to get Ubuntu Linux running on your MacBook. Installation was fairly straightforward, apart from adding a parameter to the installer.
After booting up for the first time, there were a couple of settings that had to be changed to get some minor features fully working, but they were not earth-shattering and are fairly well documented. The great thing was that 3D effects, backlight brightness and even the Apple Remote worked straight out of the box.
Check out the instructions and download your copy of Ubuntu.
