[CoLoCo] Converting iMac's to Ubuntu 12.04

[Anthony Zotti]

While the only experience I have was on significantly different hardware, I
was able to install Ubuntu on the 2012 MBP using Refit. It is free as in
beer and worked quite well.

While I am at it, Diane, I am happy to offer my time to volunteer if you
have any needs that I can help with. Probably best if you have networking,
simple admin stuff that can be done off hours as I'm probably a little too
far on the 'tattooed white trash' end of the spectrum but, it may be a
win/win as I seek to gain chops on some larger networks.
