Ver. 10.7 (Lion)
(cost too much even if it could).
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Costs $19.99 from the Apple store. Is that
too expensive? Lion is the same price but requires Snow Leopard to be
installed on your computer.
A few years ago, I talked with the people in the local Apple store
after Leopard came out about the cost of upgrading. I was informed that
I would have to pay for Tiger and Leopard. That came to $360 (180 each).
That seems too much for two upgrades. Besides I prefer to do a clean
install with a complete operating system rather than an upgrade. Perhaps
the prices at the Apple store have changed since then, but the sales
personnel had the wrong attitude as far as I am concern. So they have
lost a potential customer.
So, I may be wrong about the current practices of the Apple store.

For WiFi, it only uses WPA; so I can not use it to connect to any
secure network even if I knew the password.
My MacBook (MacBook2,1) with OS X ver. 10.6.8 connects to WPA 2
protected networks. If Ubuntu gives you WPA 2 access, Snow Leopard
will as well
