I was just thinking about this. I keep having problems with boot loaders when it comes to triple booting Windows, Mac and Ubuntu. What If you used Bootcamp to install Ubuntu through Wubi? It might keep the warranty good too, because it's not a partition, but some files under windows, so Apple would never even suspect another operating system. I think that would be a great idea, though I have yet to try it. I'll give it a shot over the next day of two and tell you how it works. What do you think of the idea?

hey dude,
yea i've tried the wubi installer and i installed ubuntu as a piggyback on windows..i had many problems with it though and i had to reinstall it again after making a partition for ubuntu and creating a swap partition..i wouldnt really recommend installing it using the wubi,,

So what caused the problems? Creating the Ubuntu Partition, and swap? I have no problem with it being part of the windows space, and no swap works fine on macbook pros with 2 GB or ram for me. Would that work?
