[ubuntu-in] How to do dual boot install of Ubuntu on Mac
Hi folks, Thanx for all the help you've provided me but I have this question, How to safely dual boot Ubuntu and Mac OS X on a MacBook Pro 15 inches? (the reason I ask this question is coz in my college they require all their students to buy a laptop and they only allow mac and windows laptops. And windows laptops are JUST PLAIN UNSAFE, so I have only one option and that is a Mac) Any help would be very much appreciated.

Why can't you sue them?? Take them to court about being biased and not respecting you feeling. On the other hand why do u need to install ubuntu when you are having MacOsX which is simply awsome.

Bah, sue them and get what? Tell them to sell Linux pre-loaded laptops? There are barely any models in the market that do that and those are not the ones that come under Education discounts. He'll only get hackled by the college authorities if he does that. You can find numerous guides on the web for dual booting with OS X (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/) but if you want to use Linux, I don't recommend you get a Mac. The hardware is quite weird and is built to be used with Mac OS. You will have small/big issues that will keep nagging you :-) Instead, get a Windows machine, format and use with Linux. Whee! On the other hand why do u need to install ubuntu when you are having MacOsX which is simply awsome. Even though such statements usually attract flame wars (which I have a lot of interest in ;-), I'll give my opinion here anyway. I've been using OS X for almost a year now (before using Ubuntu for almost 4 years) and I find Ubuntu far easier and fun to use than Mac OS. Even though the UI of Mac OS is quite good, there are other kinks in the OS (and general ones that closed-source OS' usually have) that simply don't exist in Ubuntu or other Linux distros.
