Angelos are you up for trying a build based on the 64+mac iso?
question: is the 64+mac build also ok for 64+generic PC hardware?
(seems that it wouldn't be, otherwise why else ubu 13.04 come in
32,64,64mac instead of just 32,64mac?)
q2: for the 32bit, shall we use the pae kernel for large-mem access?

My understanding is that the +mac disables UEFI support (something
about the Mac implementation being weird and non standard since it
predates the standard), so yes newer machines can use it in Legacy
boot mode. But someone wanting to dual boot with a pre-installed win 8
box will have issues using that (do we really want to give those
people 32bit anyways?). The reason Dvds work on a Mac is that they
always boot in Legacy mode as detected by the Mac.
Ubuntu still has 32bit because there is still plenty of older hardware
that isn't 64bit. If I though it would be easy to apply the same hack
they use to make +mac on a 32 bit build I would suggest that for max
compatibility.
Thanks,
Alex

Alex, how about setting up a default 64 bit build and then make a last
minute (on release) build for mac?
