As I said, I don't wanna do that as I'm an audio engineer, and my mac OSX
system is strictly being used for my audio workflow. I don't want to bog it
down with anything else.
Chris.

Just curious whether you could simply use the unix underneath OSX to do
your bidding. I know there are currently 11721 packages ported to osx
under macports.org so maybe you can just run them in the Mac environment.
Just not sure what the key package is in linux that you are trying to gain
access to.

a live cd of linux to format a partition correctly, I'm not sure why
it wouldn't work. Again, google can answer this one way or the other,
and I recommend doing thorough research before doing anything else.

Boot Camp will go with Windows Natively, no need for the Refit loader, I

the
Mac will take to making a Windows partition, booting a Ubuntu Live CD,
and
then turning the partition into the linux type. I thought I read that
the
problem has to do with the EFI firmware on mac's instead of the normal
PC
Bios that it may not boot the linux partition.

I think so. I use the Refit boot loader (I may have that name wrong)
to boot Mac OS and Windows. I don't see why I couldn't set up another
partition, though. I'm sure google will have plenty of in-depth
articles and tutorials about this. Note that you will need sighted
help to set up some of this, at least I did.

I'm pretty sure the short answer to this question will be

yes... The long answer will probably be, yes, and no.
Technically speaking, Bootcamp is made for either Windows Vista, or
Windows
7. Is there a way however that I could set up a bootcamp partition,
then
install UBuntu, Vinux, or F123 Linux? preferably either the last two
of
the
three.
I know I could do this in VMWare Fusion, ok, fine, that's fair, but
that's
not exactly what I'm wanting to do for various reasons. For another
thing,
being I'm an audio engineer, I want to keep my mac partition free of
pretty
much anything non audio related for my studio workflow.
Thanks.
Chris.
