About Us
The mactel-support team is dedicated to providing the best support possible for running Ubuntu on Intel-based Macintosh Hardware.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/AboutUs
If you are looking for support on PowerPC-based Macs, try these pages:

Documentation Guidelines
Please have a look at our guidelines for writing documentation!
The guidelines contain a lot of DOs and DONTs. See it as recommendations.
All wikis for running Ubuntu on a Mac reside in the user community pages
and everybody is free to contribute to them.
The MactelSupportTeam tries to improve the overall
comprehensibility of these documents.
Creating a new page
A wiki about a certain Mac hardware belongs into the community help pages.
If you like to create such a wiki, do the following steps:
Right click, open in new tab and login at help.ubuntu.com/community.
Create a new page: Right click and open in new tab MacProduct x,x and Ubuntu x.xx (codename)
Adjust the product name, model-identification and Ubuntu version in the browser URL.
Example: MacBook Air 3,1 and Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)Choose MactelSupportTeam/DocTemplate as template for your wiki.
Thank you for using the Mactel documentation template!

Forum Support
A generic support forum for both Intel and PowerPc based Macs can be found here:

Since we don't have a mailing list, we use a dedicated thread, to coordinate our activities:

Try to contact the writer and ask him to bring his pages up-to-date so we can link it, maybe to join us, or if we can delete the old stuff, to avoid confusion.

Similar/almost identical hardware
MacBook 1,1 - Mac mini 1,1 - MacBook Pro 1,1 (different Graphics Card: ATI instead of the Intel) [ ]
MacBook 2,1 - Mac mini 2,1 - MacBook Pro 2,1 (different Graphics Card: ATI instead of the Intel) [ ]
MacBook 3,1 - MacBook Pro 3,1 (different Graphics Card: nVidia instead of the Intel) [x]
MacBook 5,1 - MacBook Pro 5,1 (larger nVidia Graphics Card + Firewire, same trackpad) [x]
The MacBook 4,1 and MacBook Pro 4,1 differ substantially, in spite of the similar names. The Graphics Card, Trackpad and Systems Manager Controller (SMC) are completely different. The MacBook Pro 4,1 is more similar to the MacBook Air 1,1 (Trackpad, SMC).
