Newbie+Macbook +Ubuntu?

[vickoxy]

Hi,
i have a newest MacBook (white) and want to install Ubuntu as 2. system. Do i need to install rEFIt to make it working (dual boot)?
I installed once win xp and dual boot was working fantastic. I want for this computer that MacOS be 1. System, and Ubuntu 2. (after pressing command line). Is that possible, or i have to choose system every time after reboot?

You will need to install refit initially, if only to sync the partition tables. After you have done that, you can uninstall. From then on the computer will automatically boot into mac, unless you hold the option key when booting. Holding option will show you a boot menu where you can choose either mac or linux. The intructions are provided in much more detail here:
