dual boot xp ubuntu on a mac

Asked by thenubsauce

I know this might be kind of a strange question, but I really just want to discuss it. I was thinking about buying a mac mini because it's so small, and I can move it around. But I really have no need for OSX. So does anyone know if there would be any problems with a dual boot XP and ubuntu on a mac mini? :)

Yes you can dual boot ubuntu and xp on the mac but why would you want to?
Ubuntu and macOS are a lot safer and faster than xp or vista. Id say use ubuntu and mac it would be better in the long run.

Hope that helps

haha, yea. The only reason I still have windows is i can play warcraft. i know warcraft runs on linux with WINE and on Macs, but I'm in china, and since no one uses the real version, I can't use my real copy. I have to download a cracked version as well as a chinese program to LAN with chinese players. Sad isn't it?
