I have already tried Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on my Macbook. To find out the differences between Ubuntu and Linux Mint on the laptop, I decided to try Linux Mint 5, which is heavily based upon Ubuntu 8.04.

Macbook2,1 Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz
1GB DDR2 SDRAM 667 MHz (2x 512MB)
120 GB Hitachi Hard Drive
HL-DT-ST DVDRW  GSA-S10N (LG DVD Drive)
Intel GMA 950 Graphics
Atheros Wi-Fi
Intel HD Audio
Apple Bluetooth

You may download and try out Linux Mint here if you wish. YMMV.
