Dual booting is for wimps. You want hardcore, you’ve got to go for the gold: triple booting. That’s right: OS X, Windows XP, and Linux all on one computer—it’s like the Holy Grail of computing, only, you know, less cup-like.
OnMac.net, they of the infamous XP on Mac bounty, have managed to successfully triple boot a MacBook Pro with Boot Camp’s help. The instructions are on their wiki, but are definitely not for the faint of heart.
So you’ve got your Intel Mac triple booting. Now what? Well, the world is your oyster. You’ve got XP for gaming, OS X for general productivity, and Linux for…um…Linuxy stuff. “Mad hacking,” if you will.
Honestly, I’m not sure I could handle the triple boot. I can barely turn my computer on before I have my morning caffeine fix—choosing among three operating systems may simply reduce me to a quivering, confused mass.
Next up, quad booting OS X, XP, Linux, and BeOS.
