Is there a tut i can find so my Mac can run Snow leopard/Linux/Windows 7.
I heard you can run both Snow and Linux. But Windows 7 has to run on VMWARE. Also, partitioning your HDD
Right now i have a 2011 Mac/8GB RAMM/350HDD. I know some things about computer but this would be the most complicated thing i would do.

Well... I don't see why you would want to run all three at once, but unless you can custom code it, there is probably no way in hell.

It really isn't difficult, you just need a decent bootloader like [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . There are plenty of tutorials for the non-computer-savvy available on the internet on how to triple-boot using grub.

Just sounds cool that i would be able to run Mac/Windows/Linux all on the same computer

Is there a guide in exactly how to run all 3. And would my computer handle all these OS??

It really depends on what kind of computer you have!
The more RAM, the better.
You should probably have 6+gb of RAM to be safe!

Who in the right mind would want both Xubuntu and Ubuntu? They are the same exact distro, except one has a very slightly different toolchain and runs a different DE, but their inner workings and general feel are the same. Waste of HDD space.

Same goes for Windows XP, except who in the right mind would run XP period? That's just pointless.

:wow:

Your stupidity intrigues me.
