Good point!


I am satisfied with rEFIt on my own machine, but still would not install 
it on the machine of a friend that I would demo Linux on.

I would only apply rEFIt _after_ my friend was confident with Linux and 
wanted to keep it: rEFIt gets installed on the hardware (i.e. does not 
disappear when the CD or USB key is removed), and in case of error you 
cannot start your old MacOS (you may need an original MacOS X install 
DVD, or perhaps even need some other rescue tool!).


Replace "Linux" above with SoaS if that makes more sense to you.
