“Can Linux co-exist peacefully with Mac OSX? Of course
it can, and it’s my opinion there are some real advantages to
having both available on your Mac system. So, with this beginner
article it is my hope that others will be open to trying out the
power of Linux on their Mac.

“BEFORE YOU START

A few items you may prefer to have when starting:
• A blank cd
• A copy of Ubuntu
• A copy of VirtualBox 3
• A copy of Burn if you wish to use it
• An Intel Mac running Tiger or Leopard

“You might also benefit from a review of the Reallylinux.com
article for Ubuntu beginners:
http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/basicubuntu.shtml. It offers some
introductory guidance regarding Ubuntu for new users.”
