Well, I have used linux on and off based on general curiousity.
So in certain respects I am still a beginner. I have done
installations, and some programming using forums in order to
connect wirelessly on my school's network. It has been a year
since I have used linux, but would very much like to get back to
it. The enviornment itself promotes the need to learn to program
which is what I need for my upcoming job.  Anyways, to the
point. I have been told that since OS X is a unix system that it
is possible to install a linux destroy while bypassing a windows
manager. (My understanding of things is that running windows and
OS X on a mac requires a windows manager), while having a linux
and OS X can be done in a fashion comparable to having KDE and
Ubuntu installed at the same time.  My computer is already duel
booting OS X and windows and I don't really want to mess that
up, or have to install a third party windows manager in order to
triple boot my computer. I was wondering if anyone could help me
out or point
