I'm running Ubuntu on a 2nd gen Air. The big problem is getting it to boot. The -noapic kernel option helps. Also I have a little ritual where when turning it on I hit the power switch at the beginning grey screen then proceed to turn it on again.
- schacon 17y agoI tried that about 8 ways from Sunday - all I was getting was a black screen of ambivalence and a dead USB port until I COPS'd it. I finally just gave up for the time being.
- mark_l_watson 17y agoOuch, that sounds painful. I still use my 2+ year old MacBook a lot because Ubuntu seems to work perfectly on it. I have a new 4 core Toshiba that has been a nightmare re: Ubuntu. I decided to wait for the next Ubuntu release.
