[News] Linux Comes Closer to Mac Users

Just another perspective on last month's news...

Tutorial: Triple-boot Win XP, Linux and OS X on an Intel Mac

,----[ Quote ]
| The MacBook Pro runs Linux surprisingly well, given that it has only
| been available for a couple of months. Having a lot of Intel hardware
| in there helps -- basic chipset features like USB and SATA are well
| supported, as is the Core Duo CPU and its Enhanced SpeedStep for
| frequency control. Networking is also supported, using the sky2 driver
| in recent kernels for the Marvell Ethernet chip, and the third-party
| Madwifi drivers (www.madwifi.org) for the Atheros 802.11a/b/g chip.
| There's even accelerated 2D/3D support for the Radeon Mobility X1600
| video chip using ATI's latest drivers.

| The real show-stopper is in installation. You can boot your favourite
| Linux install CD easily enough using Boot Camp (just hold down option and
| alt at boot), but creating a bootable Linux install is no easy task,
| particularly if you want to triple-boot with XP.
