Find and clean up out-dated and/or redundant links like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mactel. 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. *cd33: I edited the url mentioned. It seems that you cannot redirect between wikis... Others: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/iMacIntel https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iMacCoreDuo
