I've come across a circa 2011 Mac Book Pro.  It appears to be in decent condition save for the power adapter which appears to have been chewed by a pet, so it doesn't flame on.

Has anyone had success installing fedora on one of these?  Just curious before I put money into a power adapter, I'm guessing someone ran the battery flat (its probably shot anyway) and didn't pursue getting a new power adapter.

I don't know enough about Macs to know what type it is. But it's old and thick and has an Intel Core2Duo CPU. It only has 2GB ram so I put a lightweight spin on it, LXDE I think. Works fine but the lack of a right mouse button is annoying and there were a few other quirks but perfectly usable. The ram could be upgraded to 4GB, which I would do if I was going to use it on any regular basis. 

Thanks,
