Triple booting Windows, Linux, and Mac OS

I had this crazy idea of installing Mac OSX on my laptop alongside Linux Mint and Windows 7.

The laptop is a Dell Latitude E6430 with quad core i7, 16gb ram, nvidia graphics, and a 256gb SSD. It already had Win 7 Pro when I bought it, and last week I installed Linux Mint 17.1 in dual boot configuration. Everything works great so far but I am itching to have Mac OS on it too. I have done some reading online and it looks like my hardware will be able to run Mac OS.
Why would I want to do this? Because I can and it would be cool to have three different operating systems in the same machine.


I will report back on how it went in a few hours. Wish me luck

I went for bootcamp on 2010 Air, but due to gpt/mbr partition issues the osx portion was entirely sacrificed. Now it's just win7 pro running on Macbook Air and running pretty nice for 5 years old machine. (2.1ghz cd2, 4gb, Apple 250gb ssd)
Oh enough about me - enjoy the hassle, you bored fellow geek ;-)

It has been a hassle. No go so far. I got it to install but it won't reboot to finish the setup. :(

Maybe I should just buy a Macbook and then run Windows and Linux on it with OSX. :cool:
