Hello,

So recently I got a mac mini, and I've never installed an OS on a mac. So I want to install xp and linux on it while keeping the mac OS. Is there anything I need to know about boot camp or installing multiple OS's? Also with macs how do you go about selecting OS's and does Ubuntu run smoothly on the mac mini?

Have you considered Virtualizing?

I use VMWare on my MBP unibody 10.5.7.

If you insist on dual-booting, the apple subforum has tons of info (what works and what not ... what are the workarounds, etc).

Also read the sticky on said sub-forum.

Good luck.
