The truth is vista is worse (in terms of stability, hardware support, security and price) than you think it is. Don't bother.

I've been using Ubuntu on my mac for a while and everything pretty much works without any cofiguration on Intrepid, but there were a couple of annoying problems that I had to sort out.

# and € keys on UK macintosh keyboard layout

Hash and euro didn't work which can be a pain, so I've mapped them to the key left of the Z key (marked ~`)

You probably should create a new keyboard layout but I just added the new key mapping to the existing gb symbols file.

Open it with:

sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gb

Scroll down to the United Kingdom - Macintosh bit at the bottom and replace the two lines underneath with:
    key {    [               2,              at    ]    };
    key {    [               3,        sterling    ]    };
    key {    [      numbersign,        EuroSign    ]    };

and log out for it to take effect.

Touchpad scrolling and double tap right-click
To get the touchpad working properly on Intrepid I had to configure HAL.

Edit a new .fdi file for it:

gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/synaptics.fdi


then paste this into it and save:



 
 
   true
   true
   true
   false
   false
   1
   3
 
 



You need to restart hal for it to take effect and probably log out and in again

sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart

Its handy for keeping in touch with friends and seeing what they're up to, arrange to meet up etc.
