Hey LazyWeb! Best Linux distro for a MacBooK?

By Joe Brockmeier | Published: 12/7/2007

OK, I've been surfing around a bit, but my Google-Fu is failing me somewhat. What's the best distro (i.e., works right out of the box, if at all possible) for a MacBook? This is a recent vintage MacBook, with an Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM.

I've been searching, but I keep running into docs that are old, or don't seem to address the latest versions of the MB or the distro, or that have a string of instructions a mile long to enable various things like wireless.

I could just line up a half-dozen distros and spend a ton of time trying each, but I'd just as soon whip one distro on and be done with it.

    The same reviewer also liked opensuse.

    SUSE, hands down. Outta the box everything but XGL worked first shot.
