Ok, I'm finally of a mindset to replace my now tired, aging Dell Inspiron 600m. I'm currently running Fedora Core on it, and am fairly happy with the software. Has anybody used CentOS on a Macbook Pro? What gotchas are there? (The first that comes to mind is the lack of a right mousebutton) Scouting on the Internet, I've seen that some people have trouble getting sound to work. I'm interested in the following: 1) Network/Wifi support 2) Sound 3) Video (don't need 3D, currently using 2D ATI Radeon drivers and am happy) 4) USB support (works?) 5) External video - I frequently have to give presentations!

I've gotten feedback on how to use OSX, but no feedback on using CentOS on a Macbook Pro. Is that to mean that nobody uses CentOS natively on an Intel Macbook Pro? -Ben On Wednesday 25 October 2006 16:15, Benjamin Smith wrote:> Ok, > > I'm finally of a mindset to replace my now tired, aging Dell Inspiron 600m. > I'm currently running Fedora Core on it, and am fairly happy with the > software. > > Has anybody used CentOS on a Macbook Pro?
