    I cannot vouch for the dual boot installation experience. I have one OS on my SSD drive in the Titanium G4.

    Another option is to run Tiger and use the Fink repository to install many open source apps that have been ported to Tiger.

    Hummm, interesting. I wish the part of the boot-up process that involves choosing the operating system was on the motherboard so it wasn't such a risky business though. Oh well. :<

    I despise having to edit all kinds of config files I've never heard of, and in very specific orders, only to get a foreboding error message spit out at me. >.<

    I'm not even sure yaboot is what I'm supposed to use. It looks like it is...

    I really appreciate everyone's help thus far. Thank you.
