Q:

How can I install Ubuntu on my MacBook?

Will Ubuntu 10.10 run out of the box on my MacBook 7,1?
What steps must I follow to get Ubuntu 10.10 running as a dual/triple boot with Mac OS/ Windows?

A:

The best guide for triple-booting that I have read is at Lifehacker.com. Basic steps:

Use Disk Utility in OS X to partition your drive.
Install Windows. Quite straightforward. Install the Boot Camp drivers afterwards.
Install Linux. Make sure to install bootloader on the Ubuntu partition (i.e. /dev/sda4/, and not on /dev/sda.

I've done it this way without trouble for both Ubuntu and Fedora.
