Thread: Best way to use Ubuntu on a brand new Macbook Pro?

i have 4 years experience ubuntu, 0 macbooks.

try , install ubuntu on mint new macbook pro of (community) documentation, stickies , faqs have me scared.

1) best way run ubuntu on macbook?
a)full (internal) dual boot
b)usb/sd/external live/full install
c)virtualisation (virtualbox? parallels? vmware fusion?)

2)the community documentation says half things not expected work out of box, why? works fine on new laptops of manufacturers. different here?

3)i keep reading conflicting opinion on whether or not possible boot off external usb hdd/flash drive/sd card. not possible @ all, possible guid or whatever , other says possible hybrid mbr. what's bottom line here, or not doable?
