I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck getting a linux distro to run on the MBP retina? I know that the battery life is better running it virtually but I would still rather get this going on metal!

Yep, tried with a few distros, mainly fedora and ubuntu. Got them running perfectly at 1440x900 but at 2880x1800 it's pretty much unusable.

I wouldn't want it at 2880x1800 anyways. pretty interested in how you got ubuntu working. was it just the regular 12.04? I tried that and it wasn't working great at all.
