Let's put all our notes on MacBookPro here so we can share them.

Partitioning

MBP comes with preinstalled OSX on the whole disk. I made some notes on partitioning:

Partition Minimal size Recommended size File system Notes Leopard 9G 30-40G HFS+ I have an external USB disk 30GB, which is used to backup OSX
swap 4G 4G swap swap is used for linux, and must be as large as RAM amount for use with suspend
WinXP 2G 10G NTFS Useful to test software
WinVista 10G 20G NTFS Useful to test software
Ubuntu 8.10 8G ext3
Ubuntu 9.04 8G ext3 testing
8G ext3 /home jfs cannot shrink share NTFS

Multiple booting

Booting multiple system on Mac can be tricky. The easiest way seems to use refit.
