Wipe Out Mac OSX From A 2006 Macbook

Hi guys. I have an old 2006 Macbook. Which distro should I clean install on it?
Someone said you can't use macs for linux. Is this correct?

Dear Everyone,

I seem to have blown it when I first installed my OS.

All the updating messages when I run Muon's software
updates keep saying AMD and AMD64, and other things
that make me think my kernel and libs are confused as
to what processor I have.

What the sticker on the front plate of this Lenovo
V570 says it has, to quote exactly, is an "Intel
Inside(tm) CORE(tm)i5". In the bad old days of Linux
1.0, we would have to recompile the kernel, a prospect
not for the faint of heart.

I was hoping there would be something simpler that you
young whipper-snappers do nowadays.

Old Newbie,
Nerodog.

So I was able to successfully install CyberDuck on my MacBook and configure it with my VPS using SSH Authentication Keys and a Passphrase on my Private Key.

It seems to be working well, and I feel like I can trust it when uploading files to my VPS.

But what about downloading?

This may sound dumb, but I am not entirely sure how to securely download things (e.g. Server Backups) from my VPS to my MacBook using CyberDuck...

Sincerely,


Rob

I'm having trouble getting OS installs to work on this low-end laptop. I've tried Linux Mint, OpenSuse, Manjaro, Zorin OS Core 9 (32bit, 64bit and lite versions). My problem is that once installed, the graphics aren't rendered correctly or (with Zorin) the system would freeze right after logging in. Manjaro did install and work, but the screen was so dark it was unusable, even after adjusting the brightness levels. With Linux Mint, the compatibility mode worked perfectly using the live cd, but the graphics were too distorted once installed. OpenSuse also had distorted graphics. I just want to put the laptop to use until it dies on my.

I've tested the hard drive with the on board diagnostics and I've checked the memory. Neither of those tests gave any errors.

The specs a

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core TK-55
2 gigs of DDR2 memory
Nvidia GeForce Go 6100 graphics card.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm not an expert, so be gentle with the help and recommendations.

It gives me errors with the kernels, ive tried i686 i486 i386, it wont start when I usb unstall 64 amd version, it starts with i386 but the kernel wont run the persistent setup because it gives me an error message about the kernel. i486 just worked all weird on my laptop. Any links or step by step guides to the BEST methods of installing the write version for persistent mode, any info on MAIN things to upgrade right away from the command box like audio, graphics, add-on tools, updates etc... im trying to get all that before I head out of town in less the 48 hours with little time to be online for the moment. Id greatly appreciate your responses.....

My thinkpad x200 is running on slackware 14.1. I am aware that my device is powered by a core 2 duo processor and Windows proved it to be so. But slackware says that my laptop only has 1 cpu. I became aware of it after configuring conky. Later on i checked it using lscpu and some similiar tools.
How can I fix it?
Thank you.
