see the thing is, i've tried that. i tried to write zeros over my data but it said it would take 121 hours, which is wayyyy too long. i then deleted my harddrive and i can install mac on it, its just i really want linux to run on my mac, i just wanna try something new because i'm so used to tiger/mac in general. any other ideas? if not i think i'm just going to give up lol

thanks
