similar to: MacBook Pro and CentOS-5

Well, the worm has turned and I think I may actually get an Apple ;P. But I can''t decide which one. Pros and cons: 14" iBook: + modem (for when broadband kicks out, or on the road and there''s no WIFI) + screen is probably big enough (though I currently have a 15" Dell) + doesn''t get as hot as the MacBook + almost half the cost + less likely to get stolen -

FYI, I just installed CentOS 5 beta with the SMP kernel in a VMWare fusion virtual machine on my 2.33 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. The installation was flawless. I installed from an NFS share on my network with the ISO images. The vm booted disc one and recognized my 802.11n wireless connection as eth0. The install took about 30 minutes. Everything worked fine... -Joe

I recently installed CentOS 5.2 64-bit on a partition on a MacBook Pro 17 inch. It installed just fine, but wired Ethernet is not available. lspci shows it as nVidia...unknown. Is it possible to get wired Ethernet running on this laptop under CentOS without having to create a virtual machine installation of CentOS? If so, what is the magic? Thanks. Scott

Did anybody succeed in installing CentOS on a MacBook Pro with nVidia chipset (2010 edition, http://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/produkte/macbook-13-2-4-ghz-mitte-2010-86/#produkt_detail)? When I boot with the current minimal install disk, Linux does simply see non disks. Regards, Peter -- Peter Hopfgartner R3 GIS http://www.r3-gis.com

Hi, I am trying to read some files using read.csv and total size of those files are 3.99 GB. I am using MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM(snow leopard). I also tried to run a chunk from those files and altogether the size was 1.33 GB. But every time I was getting the following error R(1200) malloc: *** mmap(size=16777216) failed (error code=12) *** error: can't allocate region *** set a breakpoint in

Hi, Did anybody have success with running Syslinux on a MacBook Pro? I didn't manage, but I admittedly have no idea about UEFI. I've also heard that these machines deviate from the UEFI spec in some way... -- Thanks, Feri

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.

Hi, Some time ago I installed CentOS 7 on an older MacBook Pro for a client, since she couldn't install a more recent version of Mac OS X on it. The installation was a bit of an adventure, and I wrote a little article about it: https://blog.microlinux.fr/centos-7-macbook-pro/ I made this installation about a year ago, and the only thing I changed since then is replacing Xfce by GNOME. I

Hello! I''m having problems booting xen dom0 on MacBook Pro. I''m running Debian testing with kernels 2.6.16-2-686-smp, 2.6.16-2-686 and with less success 2.6.17-2-xen-686 + Hypervisor from 3.0-unstable-1-686. Other kernels work reasonably O.K. (except some Kernel panics... IO- APIC + timer not working during some reboots), but I''m only able to boot Xen kernel in some

Hello, On my system (Linux 3.3, booting in EFI mode, using Nouveau with nouveau.noaccel=1 due to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27501 ), I can't figure out how to change the backlight or switch which of the two graphics cards (I have an Nvidia 9600M GT and a 9400M, both are recognized by nouveau but only the 9400M is ever used) Linux uses for the framebuffer or X uses for

I'm developing my own Linux-kernel OS (https://github.com/NodeOS/NodeOS) and I have been able to build a live ISO using IsoHybrid.
