Installing Ubuntu on a Mac mini
About
This page helps you to find the right documentation, when you want to install Ubuntu on a Mac mini.
Determine your hardware revision
To determine which version / generation of Macmini you have, you can ...
either click in OS X on the Apple on the top left, then "About this Mac" -- "More Info...", see the generation in the "Model Identifier" row; or ...
... under Ubuntu, you can find out what model you have, by typing at the terminal:
sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
A terminal is opened by going to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal.
It will tell you something like Macmini2,1 for example.
MacBook Hardware Revisions and Ubuntu version-specific wikis
Now choose the link to the wiki of your hardware revision and the Ubuntu version you are looking for. If you haven't decided yet, what version you like to install: We recommend to install the latest official Ubuntu version. If there is no such a wiki available, ask for help in the support forum!
