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.

I have Linux Mandriva dual booting with Windows Vista on my laptop and I want to uninstall Mandriva so I can install Ubuntu. I’ve read similar questions to this and a lot of them said I need a boot CD. Well I only have system recovery discs that came with my computer. I also saw that I could use the Win98 boot Floppy disc. Well my laptop doesn’t have a floppy disc drive – is there anywhere I can get it on CD? Where do I get that? It would also help if you could mention the steps to uninstall it like the commands to type, etc. Thank you so much if you answer.

I want to know which distro of Linux I should load on it. I have tried openSUSE live CD, Ubuntu 7.10 live CD, Fedora Core live cd, and the Ubuntu 6.04 Dapper Drake LTS live CD which is the only one that worked. The ubuntu server 7.10 froze at 21 percent twice with 2 different downloads and cd’s, and so did the Ubuntu 7.10 alternate. I am currently trying the opensuse non live cd. I just want to use it as a file server and to browse the web and stuff like that. It has 2 933mhz prosessors, and 1 gb of memory. Thanks in advance!
