The X86 ones aren't bad. You may want to use something like reEFIt or the like as a bootloader (Mac's don't use BIOS). The only gotcha is that many of the nice "boot to other OS" features Use this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages I decided after awhile, I liked the linux install in a VM instead of a dual boot (Mac OS X is a unix, and the VM on a SSD didn't hurt at all) and wiped it back out. Historically, Apple charges about 30-70 USD for the OS, so less than the windows OEM license you are paying for on non-Apple hardware I have no idea if Linux distros work with a completely blank drive, have only dual booted.
