Linux Playground
I’ve been playing with Linux on two old Macbooks (4,1 and 2,1). The 4,1 system has Ubuntu while the 2,1 system is running Crunchbang. To me the stock Ubuntu install is a bit to much for me, and I much prefer the Crunchbang install. However I have EFI boot issues with the CB install.
So here are a few quick links:

grub-efi-amd64 is also a useful package’s… I think.
