Boot Camp will go with Windows Natively, no need for the Refit loader, I
don't think, but for whatever reason, I don't think the system will like
that partition being turned into a linux one. I mean, I'm not sure how 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.

Subject: Re: Question about Bootcamp
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.

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.
