Hi, I don't have a Macbook Air, but I have two iMac desktops and one macbook pro laptop. The two imacs run Gentoo without any problems. I installed refit to switch between Gentoo and osx.
For the laptop, I had trouble booting from the installation cd. A few days ago someone on this list suggested that I run Gentoo within a virtual machine running on osx. This turned out to be a very good solution, since it is very easy and works perfectly (I do have a small network problem, but not serious), and allows me to use the Mac software as well. I use virtualbox for the VM software. Best, Moshe * Grant <emailgr...@gmail.com> [14/09/11 16:33]: > My wife can't stand the OS on her Macbook Air any more and has asked > me to install Gentoo.
