I had a friend who asked me to look at her Macbook a while ago. I told her I would do my best considering I deal mostly with PCs. Well she decided to buy another laptop and gave me the Wallstreet. I was thinking about fixing it up for my wife to use as a basic internet browser.
She said her boyfriend tried to put Diablo on and everything crashed. When I try to boot it up all I get is a gray screen with a little floppy drive with a question mark on it. I figure that this is a missing operating system or something. I've seen a few people on here have Macs on here and was hoping to get a little insight.
This Macbook has no USB but I was curious, would the system itself run Linux and if so any ideas out there which distro I should download and install. I've wanted to try out Linux but I have no idea where to start. Or would it be easier to get a copy of 7.5 (free at apple.com) and just run the Mac system. Any input is greatly appreciated.
