Israel,

I'll have to give 14.04 a try.  A live version would be good considering
the horrid EFI Apple has.   When I purchase my current MBP, I didn't want
to deal with it so I just run mac os,  but from time to time, I played with
VirtualBox running an Ubuntu guest.  Maybe it's time to do it again.
