"Boot Camp is a multi boot utility included with Apple Inc.'s OS X that |
| 24 |
assists users in installing Microsoft Windows operating systems on |
| 25 |
Intel-based Macintosh computers. The utility's Boot Camp Assistant |
| 26 |
guides users through non-destructive disk partitioning (including |
| 27 |
resizing of an existing HFS+ partition, if necessary) of their hard disk |
| 28 |
drive and installation of Windows device drivers. The utility also |
| 29 |
installs a Windows Control Panel applet for selecting the boot operating |
| 30 |
system." |

You might also want to take a look at rEFIt [0] if you want to boot Linux on |
| 35 |
your Mac Mini. |
