Dissatisfied with Unity? Macbuntux is a Macbuntu Respin, based on the Natty desktop.

Obviously not for every one. Mac lovers, rejoice! :D

Can I install iTunes?


(Not Serious)


Honestly it is a cool concept, but if I really wanted a OS X machine I would just pick up a cheap Mac Mini or drop the cash for a Macbook Pro.

Personally though I have never been a fan of the Mac GUI and I would probably end up sticking some derivative of Linux on any Apple PC I bought.

Cool project, might stick it in a VM just to see how it looks.

I have macbuntux installed in my laptop, it looks really nice, but it has some issues with my video drivers (proprietary drivers for an ATI Radeon HD 4250). Still a good distro to try on though


Regards :D

Docky is out of place.

Put in Cairo Dock and then it looks perfect... people will think you spent thousands for a Macbook Pro!

Heh

Is this x64 or x86? The iso download is through a torrent, btw, and does not mention 64bit or not.
