# Dual booting my MacBook
I’m finally getting around to it, and if the technology gods are blessing me today then I should have my MacBook setup with Mac OS X 10.5.x and Ubuntu 8.10 within about an hour and a half from now. Starting up via Boot Camp and rEFIt!
I’ve also taken the chance to completely wipe my hard drive (backing everything up first of course!), I didn’t have to because Boot Camp can nudge in an additional partition. But things have been getting a bit slow on the MacBook recently, so I thought that I’d start from scratch to speed things up in the longer term.
For those interested, I’m following the tutorial on the Ubuntu website for MacBook Dual Boot installation.
UPDATE
One hour later. Dual boot is working with Mac OS X and Ubuntu! Actually, I’m surprised how well Ubuntu works on MacBook.
