Macbooks boot a Linux kernel befor the MaqcOS starts, you can look at it as a boot loader to get Apple going :mrgreen:

You could run Linux on your Mac as a virtual machine. Some information about that can be founde at this link http://virtualbox-mac.en.softonic.com/mac.
Thanks for the link. If I ever finish the edit job I'm doing I may get brave and try it out.

Linux on a Macbook? I've often thought about playing with Linux just for the heck of it but never have gotten around to it. Is there a Linux that is 100% safe to run on an every day computer? I'd like to have one do dedicate to it so if I wreck it somehow it won't matter but I don't have a spare.

I've thought about that but always figure if there's a one in 17.49 million chance of screwing things up Murphy would bring that to me and my pc would become an expensive paperweight.

Re: Are there any Linux users on this board?

I'd like to try it out but I don't have an extra computer to run it on and wouldn't know which version to try out.
