has anyone successfully installed a #Linux distro on a #Macbook Pro 2010 (macbook 7,1)? I want to triple boot Snow Leopard, Windows XP, and a linux distro (preferably Debian-based) but I'm having issues with installation, either generic/unknown errors or GRUB won't #install
I'm new to manual partitioning, so maybe I'm missing something past the usual ext4 partition and the swap partition.
