Hey hey!

Can you install Lnux Lite on Mac Pro 2009/2010?I'm not sure of the model yet.Also, it has a RAID controller, which could be a problem I guess... :-S
Thanks!

Because, I don't have the computer yet Wink
But, I now know that it will be a Mac Pro Server Mid-2010 (Dual Xeon) with an Apple Raid card, 4TB RAID0 (2x2TB) and 10G RAM.
Also, a Mac Mini Mid-2010 (2.4 Core 2 Duo) will be in the package.

So I was just wondering if anyone else tried Linux Lite on similar systems before I have them in hand in a few days.
(They are stuck in MacOS High Sierra since the hardware is not supported anymore Sad ).

If the CPUS are Intel, shouldn't be a problem. You may have to jump through a few hoops or you may be smooth sailing.

Moved, not a Support request.

Could have to move it back when I get the... machine!
(Nah, don't worry I'll open another post if needed Wink )

Good news!
I didn't try on the Mac Pro / RAID / Mid-2010 yet but...
Everything worked with Linux Lite 5.0 on a Mac Pro Early-2009 (no-RAID and no-Wi-Fi).

** I don't know if I'll INSTALL though, MacOS works and don't want to mess with it. Stuck on Sierra though.

No fiddling, Live worked straight-up! Wink
Was surprise a bit, this Mac (and maybe others?) have really good audio quality. Big Grin
Almost makes me want to keep it, lol!

I'll check the Mac Mini and more recent Mac Pro laterz.
