Hi Shahid!
I can’t live without computer, LOL just like Amit (I have just read his about me page).
And I am also an OS freak, I want to try Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu.
Thanks for this post, because I have now a new way to transform one operating system to another.

Worked clean on my Intel Pentium 2.8 Dual core although a friend with the same processor but 2.0 GHz says booting Ubuntu with Macbuntu is a bit slow although everything comes back to speed after his desktop is completely loaded.
