Install Ubuntu on a Mac
Hello, I am going to install Ubuntu on my mac, and was wondering if anyone has a complete tutorial for OS X Mavericks (10.9.1). Thank you
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Look for it at the Ubuntu website.

I would expect it would be possible to directly install Ubuntu so the Mac can boot straight in to it but I normally run it in a VM using VirtualBox. It is possible to configure VirtualBox to run at start up and startup the VM all automatically even without a user logged in.
This lets you have both OS X and Ubuntu running.
See http://mikkel.hoegh.org/blog/2010/12/23/run-virtualbox-boot-mac-os-x/

I know how to do it via virtualbox, but would like to boot directly into it. I look around and all of the guides are for older versions of OS X.
