You could try to run ubuntu virtual on you Mac via virtualbox for Mac OS.
Also very easy for testing purposes...
See how here:

I personally love the 64b Linux Mint edition with the
Cinnamon desktop which is based upon Ubuntu. Very userfriendly!

I'll stick with
XFCE: imagine Windows XP without
all the %^&*$ of Windows.

Just curious mrcoollion, Is that vers. 5.5.x on 'buntu 10 (or 12) ?
I can only be one of those due to the upload date of the video. However, I can not tell you which Ubuntu version it is..
Sorry... The interface does not gives me a clue...
Is this important for you ?

Paul

I am sorry, I thought you were the originator of the video
The importance to me is only for my own verification, and does not really do anything for advancing the thread. Sorry to have bothered/pm'd you

As one gets oriented to Ubuntu after years with Mac or Windows, this book can be very helpful:

Nathan is a long-time friend, and co-organizer with myself of the UbuCon event at the SoCal Linux Expo.
