Best and easiest distro for Macbook Pro?
I'm looking for a low maintenance amd64 Linux distro for my Macbook Pro C2D. I'm currently running Gentoo 2007.0 but don't have the time to configure it at the moment. I've considered downloading Ubuntu Feisty, OpenSUSE 10.2, or Fedora 7 but I'd like to know which distro (in your opinion) is easiest to install on the Macbook Pro and has the most compatibility with the hardware. Wireless, Suspend2, and good power management are a must. I'd prefer a distro that doesn't require me to recompile the kernel to get patches or hardware working (but compiling modules is fine).
TIA |
I think MEPIS has some things geared toward the Intel Macs, try that and see how you like it.

Are there MacBooks with AMD's 64 on them ?

Well thanks, angryfirelord, I think I'll try MEPIS and then Ubuntu for a day or two and see which one I like the most.

Manjaro
Hi;
I use Manjaro on a MacBook Pro; over a year now and everything works out of the box. I recommand XFCE as Desktop Environnment it's intuitive, by default with Manjaro and consume few memory. Manjaro is like what Ubuntu for Debian, it is for ArchLinux. So use the forum specifitly for Manjaro if you have question or you will not have a good experience. http://manjaro.org/ |
