OT (slightly) - Linux on a MacBookPro

Brad Fuller-2
I apologize if this is OT to some, but I'm wondering if anyone has run a Linux
distro on a MacBookPro to run Squeak. I understand that you can run OSX and
XP from boot on a Mac, but I'm wondering if you can also have a triple boot
to run Linux (not in VMware, etc.)

And, if you do, what distro are you using?

thanks,
brad

I don't use Bootcamp to multi-boot Linux, although I do have a windows
install there (which I haven't started in some time).  I do use
Parallels (http://www.parallels.com/) as a VM for Linux (and the same
windows partition).  I have used Ubuntu and CentOS (a Redhat source
clone) and installed Squeak therin.  I typically use my Mac squeak
though, once I'm more comfortable with Croquet I plan on using the
virtual machines to test my own little network.
