i haven't tried it. but after dual booting for years, linux with windows on notebooks and desktops. i say "no" to dual booting and have embraced "virtualization". and from reading how its done--- its a nice hack but too much hassle to be partitioning and all that stuff and some people had system crashes if you ever visit mac forums and listen to Twit/MacBreak podcasts.
i suggest you give parallels a try (its cheap). their website is www.parallels.com i've tested out ubuntu running beside my Core Duo iMac. i blogged about it (with screenshots) here. i love it so much so that i paid for my copy of parallels (it is still in release candidate stage). it has "templates" for fedora, debian, etc. but i haven't tried those. i did set ubuntu as "debian". i am currently testing/building a gentoo box with parallels--- it doesn't tax my system as much. though i recommend getting at least 1.5GB of ram--- more if you can spare it. so i love my mac because it also lets me play with my favorite penguin distro all in one box.
if you want to play games with your mac, virtualization though isn't for you yet because 3d graphics doesn't work yet. so dual booting may be your only recourse. but if its just linux--- go for virtualization. you'll love it.
cheers,
cocoy
