Anyone has successfull installed openSUSE-10.2 or SUSE Linux Enterprise on an Apple MacBook ?

yup ... me ;) Important things: - install bootcamp and repartition - install refit for the mac book - When installing and yast asks whether you want to change the partition table format, click "no". - use lilo as a bootloader (grub won't work) Linux runs, but not perfectly (I have a Core 2 Duo, not Core Duo ... on the Core Duo, a lot more things work out of the box): - Powermanagement is not really supported (but I did not investigate in that) - Bluetooth mighty mouse: no scroll wheel ... support will come however - wlan only with ndiswrapper - fn-keys only with newer kernel (2.6.20) - touch pad support is limited (not two finger scrolling for example), but with patches it has full synaptics functionality. ... mactel-linux.org has several kernel patches. Otherwise use google ... there are quite a few pages writing about this topic.

Thanks a lot Banana
