Triple Boot on MacBooks Working

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the os-challenge dept.

MikeTheMan writes "By now, everyone probably heard that Apple's recently-released Boot Camp software allows users to install Windows XP alongside OS X. But now, people at OnMac.net have discovered how to triple-boot OS X, Windows XP, and Linux. There are instructions on the Wiki for getting Gentoo running, but it is probably trivial to get other distros working as well."

    Correction, they're based on GNU tools but aren't standard.

    In particular they broke libtool from the way it works on pretty much any BSD or Linux OS to some craptastic inhouse flavour.

    Viva gentoo, viva la choice!
