I'm a fairly computer-savvy chick -- as long as that computer is running Mac OS or Windows. I know tiny, microscopic amounts of linux-y goodness. I want to change this!

I've got a late 2008 aluminum unibody MacBook and I'd like to dual boot it, 10.5 and Ubuntu 9.04. To ensure no human error on my part, I requested the DVD rather than burned my own (Okay, it's mostly 'cause I had no blank DVDs at the moment, but still.). It arrived and I want to install it -- but I don't really speak linux.

Other than the pages at http://help.ubuntu.com, is there another place for MacBook-specific installs for Linux n00bs? Any help will make you my new BFF. ^_^

yeah, I agree with [personal profile] zenten - you can usually get things like the Airport card working through the Restricted Drivers menu item -but - you need to be plugged into a high speed Internet connection via Ethernet.
