Triple Booting an Intel Mac the Right Way 101
Miah Clayton writes "In the past, installing Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows on an Intel mac meant that you were forced into only having 3 usable partition slots due to the MBR/GPT hybrid limitations. Steven Noonan figured out a way to avoid dealing with the MBR partition limit and have a Linux install that isn't performance-crippled by having a swap file instead of a swap partition."

Maybe you could just change the Windows partition type to Linux swap and use that!

Windows Server 2008 most likely.
Vista is old :)
Server 2003 is in midlife crisis
XP is ancient

As much as this will sound like a trolling post, it's not... what is the point of buying a Mac and then triple booting OS X, Windows, and Linux?
We choose to triple-boot a Mac in this decade and hack the other things, not because it is practical, but because it is fun.

I don't have a separate drive to spare on my laptop for swap space, luckily I found a workaround for that by putting the swap on a ramdisk

"special place"? I assume you're talking about a room with no chairs (aka: Ballmer's hell).
