happy to report that the deal-breaker problem with the trackpad,
extremely frustrating, can be solved by installing a different trackpad
driver. Although I am aware that ubuntu on MacOS hardware is not the
primary focus of this list, I will record the useful command for
posterity and for those
Well, there are plenty of "birthing issues" but in general, Ubuntu on
older MacOS hardware does work.
It is a pain to get "refind" working correctly -- I still can't get it
sorted out right. The trackpad only works reasonably well if I set all
the acceleration to near zero, and even then, klud

hmm,
i use Linux natively on MBPs since long time and it is a bit usual that on
very new MBP models few

Initially I burned the 64bit Ubuntu 18 version, but it wouldn't boot on my
32bit EFI Mac.
There was no 32bit version of Ubuntu 18.04.4 that I saw, so I booted the Ubuntu
16.x 32bit version without trouble. But I didn't want to install that, as that

Ken,
I have been toying with that idea for a 2009 17-inch MBP (I think it may
be MacBook3,1). I really like the 'book; it is my main machine for
playing around, web surfing etc. (using mostly Riccardo & your build of
104fx on Snow Leo). Apart from that, it is the machine I use mostly
MacPorts
Although many here, including me, are focused on bringing current software to
older Apple hardware within the constraints of the software capabilities last
available on that OS version, there is another alternative; to install a
current version of linux, such as Ubuntu, on those systems. I spent
