Alright guys... i just went out and grabbed mac os x leopard.. and im patching with a 32-bit Amd sse3 kernal which should let me use all of the programs in leo.. so yeah... and my dad's friend is getting my xp pro 64 bit and im gonna install sp3.. and i also want to put some sort of easy to use and low maintaince linux.. such as ubuntu gusty gibbon tribe 4.. but i was told that fedora core 8 is great as well.
i've got a fast 30 gig hdd and a slow 10 gig hdd. was thinking i could partition the 30 gig into 2 bits.. one being xp and the other being mac and then leave the 10 gig for linux? also considering installing the linux on my flash drive though... so thats also something im thinking about.
so my questions:
1. keep 32 bit xp and upgrade to sp3 or go 64 bit and sp3?
2. suggest a linux
3. which bootloader should i use? i dont think LILO works for this right? was told to use GRUB?
4. how should i get all 3 installations onto the bootloader.. and in what order should i install.
5. where to install which?
