Mine is a Mac Air Mid 2013, which has a different chipset and firmware. This makes a lot of difference as this was very new at the time of my trials (Jan 2014).
Of course I found a lot of advice in the Ubuntu lists.

Everything worked fine but not the energy management and the brightness after resume.

Google is your friend.
AFAIR I used this one for Ubuntu

with some modifications for Debian (AFAIR wifi worked in Debian).
I also installed the resume-backlight-workaround.
For other MacBooks start here:

Another problem with dual boot on Mac is, that OSX began to store a hidden recovery partition since some version of OSX, which causes additional pain, if you have dual boot installed.
