Ubuntu Works :)

Hi Guys,
THe last company I worked for regularly ditched office PCs and gave them to us.
I always kept the SATA drives and RAM, and took the rest of the PCs back,
ad threw it in their bins.

Now I got a USB SATA adapter and was able to boot straight to a Ubuntu install
from one of the HDDs connected with USB.

So it appears the Mac doesn't care what it runs, but will only help you install
Windows 7 or 8.
This Ubuntu install was done for another clone PC, so why not set up a
Windows XP, or other unsupported op system that way, and always boot from
the USB HDD?
Cheers, Art.

I will keep it.. only an 80Gb drive.
Shame I can't seem to do the same thing with Windows,
only Mac OS and Ubuntu wants to boot from the external drives.
