Ubuntu on the macbook pro

It’s the same problem I’ve always had, Linux doesn’t do everything I need, Apples are expensive, proprietary, shicky-micky, etc, etc, etc…. Windoze is about as pleasant and useful as a zombie with a contagious rash. So anyway, because Linux doesn’t do everything, and because swodniW is the path I’ve gone in the past, I decided to go with this Intel Mac after reading the documentation Installing Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro. It works pretty great, actually. A couple of things that bug me still. The computer has a touchpad that is really too big, in both OSes I have trouble with it. There is supposedly a fix for this in Ubuntu but I haven’t tried it yet. Also, in Ubuntu I can’t seem to get the mouse to move as fast as I would like. The biggest problem is that the delete key, which is usually a backspace delete key, when using nano, it becomes a forward delete key and there is no backspace delete. Oh and the whole Macports thing. Don’t get me started. All I need now is a GNU stencil-sticker to put over the apple beacon on the back of this thing.
