Well I decided to setup dual boot on my macbook pro tonight, I installed refit, edited the partitions with boot camp and burned by feisty beta cd.. Only to be utterly disappointed, the beta cd won’t even boot it crashes with an X error. Other people have reported similar things on the Apple Intel section at Ubuntu Forums.

Once that failed I decided to go download Feisty Herd 5 and give it a try, I figured why not. Luck! it booted up without a hitch and I began the installation it took about 20 minutes or so. At 99% the installer crashed, so I rebooted and thought ah well maybe it actually finished. On the refit screen I selected Ubuntu, bah! Nothing it wants a boot disk.

So in the end, I still got my partitioned space I’ll just wait for the final release of feisty and hope that works. But still I am pretty disappointed I wanted to fiddle

I wandered over to Barnes and Noble this morning to check out the large collection of computer geek books and notice a book called "Beginning Ubuntu Linux: From Novice to Professional" published by apress. I was very enlightened to find that it mentioned the forums as well as Bill's Ubuntu Document Storage Facility website.
