Yesterday I finally successfully installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my Mac, without breaking Windows (well I broke Windows first on purpose :P) So I now have: -MacOS X 10.5.6 -Ubuntu 9.04 -Windows XP Pro All installed and working. I think that as long as I'm using this laptop, OS X will be my main OS, because in Linux there is a lot of little annoyances, and in about 2 years, 2 months, I'll be off to college and using a different laptop, I'm doubting the quirks will be fixed in time.

I would add FreeDOS but I already have 2 partiations, so Its DOSBox,DOSEMU, or FreeDOS in VirtualBox for me.

I suppose you use BOOT-123 with a legal retail OS X copy? It pisses me off when people pirate OS X, if you don't want to pay, then use Linux

I'm too lazy to Google it but how much is a copy of OS X? I know an upgrade to XP is like $100! Plus M$ intentionally takes out features and still wants to make as much as possible with Vista through the Home, Business, Basic, and Premium versions.
