New Computer, Old Computer

[Beltharean]

So, long story short... I want to try and run Ubuntu on my old MacBook since I just got a new computer for christmas that I'll likely be using from now on -almost- all the time. I'm just not really sure what to expect once I start running Linux, especially on a mac which I've never seen done in person before. I'd like to partition my computer if I can though, since I don't think that you can run WoW on a Linux OS... Can you? I don't know much about any of it really though, so any help or tips would be useful.

My good sir, you can!

But it requires a little something called Wine and Play on Linux or something in that direction.

I got that on my main PC if I don't want to get a headache from windows 7 :P
