Hey guys,

After 1/2 a day of effort and much reading, I've finally managed to Tri-boot Mac OsX, Vista and Ubuntu Feisty on my macbookpro. Got almost everything working with Ubuntu and installed beryl without much problems. So those of you who would like to try your hands on Ubuntu 7.04 on your beloved Mac machines, I suggest this site for your kind perusal. It's one of the simplest and workable guide I've came across so far.

Make sure U have internet connect when u are installing this. Terminal will need to download the ati driver in order for Gnome to work. Also, make sure you install grub on your linux partition instead of MBR.

Post installation guides are all over the web and can be configured with ease.
For C2D user, kindly use Ndiswrapper as wifi Driver. Madwifi Driver is only for CD users.

For beryl Use xserver-glx ATI driver instead of xorg.fglrx driver. After the installation, U will need to manually add beryl and emerald theme to the start up session.

Cheers~!
