OK, I’ve been surfing around a bit, but my Google-Fu is failing me somewhat. What’s the best distro (i.e., works right out of the box, if at all possible) for a MacBook? This is a recent vintage MacBook, with an Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM.
I’ve been searching, but I keep running into docs that are old, or don’t seem to address the latest versions of the MB or the distro, or that have a string of instructions a mile long to enable various things like wireless.
I could just line up a half-dozen distros and spend a ton of time trying each, but I’d just as soon whip one distro on and be done with it.
Here is a very positive review of Ubuntu on a macbook.

The same reviewer also liked opensuse.
SUSE, hands down. Outta the box everything but XGL worked first shot.
