Thank you for the suggestions about how to boot from a USB stick! I ended up
burning a CD and booting from it, easy and quick (as it should be).
A quick run down of my experience:
MacBook Pro (7,1 - mid 2010)
Trisquel 6.0 32 bits
Worked "out of the box":
- Ethernet
- Bluetooth
- Touchpad (basic features)
- Sound
- Keyboard Functions (Brightness, Key Backlighting, Volume Control)
- HFS+ Reading (could access internal HD)
Worked, but was a bit buggy:
- Microphone (muffled, below average quality)
- Suspend/Hibernate (it went to sleep when I closed the lid, but froze once I
opened it)
Didn't work:
- Wireless (firmware missing)
- FireWire (didn't recognize an external HD)
Things I don't use, so couldn't test:
- Extra monitor
- Card reader
Couldn't figure how to test:
- Sensors (Temperature, Fans, Room Lighting, etc.)
- CD/DVD Writing (using a LiveCD? :P)
- 3D Video Acceleration (games maybe?)
The wireless issue is unsolvable for now, I guess (unless I buy a usb card).
Any suggestions about why the firewire device didn't show up? Or about the
last 3 things I could't figure how to test?
Thank you all again!
