Triple Booting XP/OSX/Ubuntu

[airrob]

1. How much room do I need for an Ubuntu partition?

2. How much room do I need for an OSX partition?

3. Can either of those read and/or write from an NTFS partition?

The ultimate question is that I have a Dell laptop with an internal 80 gig. I just got a 250 gig external. Next week, I'm going to reformat. I'd like to be able to triple-boot XP, Ubuntu, and OSX. I'm just trying to figure out how I should partition everything.

1. Don't pirate OS X.

The ultimate question is whether or not you have a Mac

Yeah and this thread is probably going to get locked. I would say forget OS X altogether. It doesn't have any benefits over Ubuntu IMO, unless you are already invested in MAC graphic design tools, which I'm guessing you are not since you are pirating OS X.
