Linux on an Intel Mac


Has anyone managed to run Linux on an Intel Mac (without virtualisation)?

I suspect that I could just install any old Intel distro in Bootcamp, so that when the Mac boots I select Windows and then LILO/GRUB would launch.

Before I bought my Intel Mac I was a huge Linux user of seven years and I'm starting to miss it a little.

There are several Linux distributions that support installation on an Intel Mac. Fedora Core 6 certainly does, and I think the latest Ubuntu has added support as well. Both have LiveCD/DVD versions, so you can try them out before installing.
