You could try to run ubuntu virtual on you Mac via virtualbox for Mac OS.
Also very easy for testing purposes...
See how here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJcc-xC6krE or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AnlvTgsoYM

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

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:
