However, I know that the 32-bit EFI Mac Pro 1,1 will boot 64 bit Red Hat / CentOS. Because I've been using my CentOS Live DVD to try and get some data off a drive. So GRUB *will* do it, maybe MacPup doesn't include the 32-bit GRUB loader since they assume this is replacing a 64-bit OS X install?

I'd intended to install MacPup Linux on one of them and use it as a machine for camp, mostly for pulling pictures off game camera SD cards.Turns out that most (all?) Core2Duo machines use a 32bit EFI even though its a 64bit machine. The hoops that have to be jumped through are not insurmountable but definitely annoying...
