Hi,

Brainless software engineer here. I'm using Arch on an iMac 27" + 27"
Cinema Display at work and I couldn't be happier. Sure, it took an
extra 15 minutes to set it up (compared to a PC) but it's quite worth
it. If you are not capable (or willing to) answer a technical
question, please refrain from sending these "how dare you do something
I don't approve of!" messages.

Thanks.


@Bryan: I tried setting this up with EFI but it simply wouldn't work
so I tried using legacy boot mode + grub-legacy and it all went
perfectly.
