Hey Ian, apparently you can burn the ISO to USB and boot off that if he wants to try it on the mac. He just holds the "Option" key down on boot and chooses the USB. He'd be better with a 64-bit ISO if he has a newer mac though. I'll double-check if 12.04 works nicely today. -- *Cheers...

...on installing ubuntu on Mac's that use intel chipset. I'm not sure if I'd like to recommend he gives this a go unless he's 100% sure his Mac has no data on it. Maybe I'll suggest he comes along to a wlug Saturday workshop and hopefully someone is there that's done this sort of thing on Mac's.
