Linux on a Early '08 version MacBook Pro?

Thanks a lot man, I'll try that now and get back to you.

EDIT - **** it, it's too hard to follow with all the crap Terminal keeps writing and all the errors it keeps giving. I gave up, this sucks. I don't think I am going to install it unless someone is willing to remote assist me or IM or something.

Isn't mint gloria based on ubuntu 9.04? In the past mint versions were just ubuntu versions with enhancements to make them easier to use. If this is the same still then hardware support will be the same as with ubuntu 9.04. Or have things changed?

Yes you're correct Mint is fork of UBUNTU
Some say Mint is more stable than UBUNtu

I use the ath9k driver with kernel 2.6.30, this works pretty well. See my post on wireless network on a MacBook 2,1 in Ubuntu 8.10
