[CoLoCo] Converting iMac's to Ubuntu 12.04

[David Overcash]

Anthony is right - rEFIT is the way to go.  However, I'm not sure it's
necessary anymore ( especially if you plan on booting only Ubuntu ).... I'm
no EFI expert, but there should be support for that now on 13.04.  The
other S76 guys would know better though...

I found this as well in case that helps:

More information on rEFIT here:
