ubuntu.com 上有一篇介紹如何在 Macbook 上安裝 ubuntu 6.10 的步驟,雖然這篇安裝是基於第一代 Core Duo 的 Macbook,基本上也適用於 Core 2 Duo 的 Macbook。

C2D Macbook 除了 CPU 改用了 Core 2 Duo 之外,最主要的分別是新一代的 Macbook 使用了 Draft n 的 Wireless card,由於尚未正式成為標準,Linux 和 BSD 等 OS 尚未有 Driver 支援,目前要使用 Wifi 就只有用 ndiswrapper 加上 Windows driver,Driver 可使用 D-Link DWA-645, Driver 可在這裡下載

Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10

Posted in Linux, OS, ubuntu at October 30th, 2006 / No Comments »

今天把 Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 換成 Edgy Eft 6.10,整體感覺真的有比較快,Edgy Eft 已經有 AiGLX 想玩 Beryl + AiGLX 的話就只要 install Beryl,祥細步驟可參考 Beryl Project 的 Website。

先安裝 Flash Player 9.0 beta 試試,試用後再寫另一篇祥細介紹。

I’ve just finished upgrade from Ubuntu 5.10 to 6.06 on my notebook. Actually, I didn’t use the upgrade function but backup data and do a fresh install. It’s because I’ve manually install Firefox 1.5 on Ubuntu 5.10 and also my Chinese system had some problem.

Ubuntu 6.06 looks more polished than the previous version 5.10. All the hardware is recognized during the installation and are ready to use after the system reboot. Wireless networks is working and the display correctly identified and configure, the graphic controller is intel i915GM, some other distributions need to manual install and configure 915resolution, there are so many other distributions out there need to learn from Ubuntu.

I start using ubuntu since last August, because fedora core didn’t installed on my notebook, but Ubuntu works out of the box. Great Distribution that everyone should give it a try.
