I was wondering if by either using BootCamp or some other third-party software, it is possible to run a Linux based OS (preferably Debian, Fedora or Ubuntu) on an Intel Mac…

I was also wonder if it is possible on older Macs (with PowerPC cores).

Also, I’m not really sure how to go about installing and running in… How DO I go about installing Linux on a PPC/Intel Mac? Can I run both OS X and Linux on the same machine (i.e. boot between the two as I please)? Or do I have to choose just one OS? I’m a Mac “pro” (I’ve been on them all my life so I know my way around the OS) and I feel like I missing out on Linux. I’ve even heard people say that Linux is OS X but for pros so… yeah!
More (hardware) information available upon request.
Also, if you want to recommend a distro other than the ones I listed, that’d be cool.
