So I just installed Debian 8.3 on my Early 2013 model 13" Retina MacBook Pro. I seem to have most everything working the way it should, with a few exceptions: blue tooth (I'll tackle this sometime this week, probably in it's own thread) and hibernate.

Suspend to RAM appears to work correctly and the system comes out of suspend fairly quickly. When I try to hibernate, The system appears to save the data from RAM correctly, but upon an attempt to resume, something happens and then the system reboots, causing me to start from scratch.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to snapshot the log files when this happens. Attempting to (hopefully) find a cause and fix hibernate.

It's been close to 10 years since I've dabbled at all with any distribution of Linux and I'm surprised at how much info I've retained in my head. I am thinking about making the jump from OS X to Linux. OSX has gotten stale. It's time to change things up.

Bootin from usb flash will keep your logs on hard drive intact so you can easily find last messages that should contain critical error that you will be able to search in forums.
