I personally prefer fedora more than any of the other distros, but I installed ubuntu on an external a while back. The problem with putting it on the same drive as your OSX system is that the disc utility that comes with mac osx cannot partition drives without reformatting the entire drive. This is pretty much what boot camp does, partitions your harddrive without erasing anything, but it dosn't make the extra partition free space, it sets it up for windows to be installed on the intel macs.

editor's note: this is from a spammer, but with all the work they put into actually writing something, I thought I would post a neutered version just to piss them off. Nice try!
