Linux

[pmitch]

Just for something a littel different , does this firmware update allow dual-booting of Linux on Intel Macs? It's very difficult (code for near-impossible ) to dual-boot Linux on PowerPC macs; would it be any easier on Intel macs with this update?

Dont most linux distros come with a bootloader ?

The problem with intel macs is they have no bios which all linux distros need, im not to sure what bootcamp actually does technically.

I think it does yes. I don't have a link but I've seen Ubuntu booting on an Intel iMac, I think the install CD still says Windows at startup though.
