Please don't get me wrong, but this is a mailing list for *Debian*
users. Though there is a (small) chance somebody is running gNS
(gNewSense?) you would probably get more and better answers in their
mailing lists/forums.

Ops sorry, made a mistake. I meant running Debian on a MacBook. :)




This is an interesting question.

I would love to hear more about the potential for running Debian on a macbook. I'm growing concerned that Apple is doing that Thing where they slowly build up a wall around their OS (Embrace, Extend).

I'm struggling with some basics like: Cups, Postgresql, Ruby/DBI that I shouldn't think would be unsupported.

So, if someone figures out how to boot and support a MacBook I'll be very interested. I picked a Macbook because it had a tendency to just work, especially with power management and network configuration.
