[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1347814, member: 46727"] The best way to run Linux (any distro) on your Mac is by using virtualization. It's too easy to mess up OS X by installing Linux. And yes, although not supported, it's certainly doable. The Ubuntu forums have lots of good posts and detailed explanations on how to dual boot Ubuntu and OS X. I've run both VirtualBox and VMWare and find them very easy to setup and use, and a lot easier to recover from mistakes. Also, I personally would not dual boot anything on a MBA due to limited memory and SSD space. Also keep in mind that the Air does not have an optical drive. [/QUOTE]
