Let's see.. I know I've popped the live CDs of Ubuntu 6 into an iBook
G4 and probably an older PowerBook G4. AFAIR, I tested wired network
connectivity, basic usability stuff. I know I got GUIs, and I don't
remember testing audio. I did not test wireless.

Ubuntu 8 on a MacBook works like a charm. I believe the wireless and
video drivers are binary-only, but I really don't care. I'm also
hacking around on triple-booting a MacBook Pro and Ubuntu needs more
coaxing to get everything working properly. NB: use a utility called
rEFIt on any Intel mac for maximum ease-of-use.
