I have a question to anyone running Linux on their macs. How does it work?
I've installed Refit a while back on this 2006 iMac running Tiger 10.4.11. I installed Ubuntu along side OS X, but I remember I couldn't get the wireless running. Seems like there's no driver for it.
I haven't actually booted into it for quite some time, but I did do some searches and there appears to be driver problems with iMacs and Linux. Most people just suggest getting a PC and installing it on there if you really want to run Linux.
Just wondering if there are people using it currently on their iMacs at all, and if so, what versions of Linux? Is there any major problems with it? Also, will it not having drivers harm the computer? I can't see why it would but it's good to ask. I've got the iMac hardwired anyway so if it's just a matter of not having wireless internet, that's fine.
