Can ubuntu be installed on macbook?

[cpthk]

I am planning to buy a laptop, I like the macbook hardware, but the ubuntu software. Is it possible to install ubuntu on macbook natively without vmware any kind of simulation software.

Thanks.

From what I've understood, yes.

I recommend you take a look at MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages.

I had Ubuntu on my Macbook , only thing I had to do was figure how to increase fan speed , it worked great after that ...........

I am trying to get a macbook pro 13".
Did you find the solution to the fan speed eventually?

[mike555]

You can get the fan speed higher with changing some text , I can't remember where exactly because I sold my Macbook but it set the minimum speed to 2000 or something like that........ (search for info)
you will also need to install "refit" , if I remember correctly ........ http://refit.sourceforge.net/
