If you own a Mac machine and you don’t want to restrict your machine to only boot Mac OS X ? Well you might sometimes want to interfere with Windows environment or say Ubuntu, then what would you do in such as case ? Obviously you would have a different machine to run Windows, but is is possible to run all three platform on a single machine.

And the answer is Yes, definitely if you own a Mac machine and also want to run Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit), and Ubuntu 10.04 followed by Mac OS X you can proceed. I am talking about a triple boot process where an Intel powered Mac will be configured to execute all three platforms on a single machine. Before you begin you must have a Windows 7 DVD, a Mac OS X 10.5 Snow Leopard DVD, and definitely a blank DVD or a CD for Ubuntu installation.

Once you are successful gathering above requirements you can follow these steps to continue your further procedures, and soon you will be easily handling Apple iLife suite, or even play Mass Effect 2 on Windows 7, further more enjoy best open-source programs available on the globe, all on a single machine.

The portable device I am talking about is the T-Mobile G1 Android cellphone. Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an Operating System, Middleware and key applications. Presumably, the T-Mobile G1 contains an ARM EABI architecture which is supported by Debian.

So a group of people (hackers) set out to install Debian on their T-Mobile G1 Android phone. The end result, at the least, is quite interesting. They have succeeded in running a full fledged Debian OS on their G1 Android cellphone at the same time, retain all the features which allow it to function as a cellphone such as receiving and making calls.
