[QUOTE="markw10, post: 266245, member: 20013"] I am interested in Linux and likely will use Mac OS X far more but want to have the capability of using it so that I can learn the OS as well as run any software for Linux that I'm interested in. I thought of switching a older Windows machine over to Linux but my interest is now to put it on a MacBook Pro. Hard Drive space is precious since I'm already planning to use Parallels to run Windows XP on it. My questions: Can I run Linux on a Mac with it on a external drive so that I can simply buy a firewire drive and make that the Linux Drive? Can I run Linux with Boot Camp or is it better to use Parallels? What flavor of Linux is best? I have heard a lot about SUSE but also some about Red Hat. Is it possible to boot straight into Linux on a Mac? Are there specific versions of Linux catered to the Mac? Thanks in advance for any help. [/QUOTE]
