Install Linux on your MacBook

May 25th, 2008 by Vineet !

The days are gone when Macs meant only MacOS. Today’s Macs use the Intel architecture rather than the old PowerPC architecture. Coming to Windows, you can easily install it on your MacBook using the bootcamp software provided by Apple itself.
But if you are one of those types who hates Windows and don’t like MacOS(A test of your geekiness!!!) but ofcourse you like the Hardware of Mac then ….You don’t have to worry. You can easily install Linux on your Mac. Moreover you will be surprised to know that all the hardware in the MacBook are compatible with Linux…including the accelerometer.
