[QUOTE="Ekim, post: 914127, member: 122956"] It all depends on your specific hardware. Truthfully... i question why you need to install ubuntu on a mac o.O lol.. just my opinion.. i mean mac is based off of unix as is linux so they are very similar. Although if you insist on installing all three operating systems i would suggest reinstalling OS X and then using the default boot camp partition on your mac for win 7, and using virtualbox or vmware for ubuntu. EDIT: to answer your virtual question about win7... it is a resource hog (just like vista), so i wouldn't advise running a vm of win7 unless ur on a iMac or MacPro (with >4gb RAM and a 2.8ghz processor -- thats just my opinion). I wouldn't even run it on my MBP that has the beefed specs... lol. Ekim [/QUOTE]
