Xubuntu Parallels Image for Macbooks
Power of the Rat!
Xubuntu is much faster than Ubuntu due to the Xfce interface (vs Gnome as in Ubuntu). This is tweaked and tuned for the Macbook. All updates, drivers and patches are complete as of 9.1.06. Screen rez is proper @ 1280x800 for the beautiful Apple.
Get this if you always wanted to try an Xfce Linux distro, but may have been intimidated by the interface.
The way I customized it was the way Xfce was intended - not the way the guys over at Ubuntu wanted it to be. Xfce is probably my favorite X environment.
I did install pretty much all applications "most" people will want. In fact, unless you have very specific needs, there is no need for more software that is already currently installed.
The nfo file will tell you more about my distro. Basically this is for the Macbook users that want to try linux but don't want to mess around with installing software, doing updates, config'n etc. I cannot test this on any other PC/MAC - so if it's not a /macbook\ then I have no idea.
You must have Parallels to run this!
Here is a screenshot of the desktop.
Very clean, very fast.
