Congratulation!
such success story is hardly surprising to me
debian has lots of such story
if i meet problem, usually i can get help from this list
sometimes i can't solve it even after seeking help
but debian is still best in my experience

Hello,
I'm sure you are, more used to getting bad news posts, when people have
trouble. And my situation began that way. I'm the one with the recent
Chicken and Egg Issue, helping a friend install Debian 9.4 on an expired
MacBook, which Apple states can't run anything later than OSX Lion. The
Broadcom B43 issue temporarily prevented me from having this Friend's Macbook
connect to the Internet. The Debian 9.4 CD1 Installed well (after I got past
EFI issues, with the help of refind), but I couldn't connect to the Internet,
due to the Wifi issue.
Many Thanks to Abdullah Ramazankgoglu, Rick Thomas, David Christensen, Dan
Ritter, Tomas, Brian and Eike for your help. The Firmware installed correctly,
and I have a happy friend, with a "Rehabilitated MacBook.
Isn't this what this is all about? I now have a happy Debian user, who was
previously a marginalized Mac user, down on his luck, and unable to afford the
expensive new Macs!
Now, he is up to date, and able to use Firefox, LibreOffice, and other Debian
Packages, while also able to Dual Boot, back to OSX Lion, when he needs to.
How's that for Volunteer work?
Thank you and best regards,
Kenneth Parker
