Linux Server Instalation

[Bioinformaticist]

Hello,
I am new to Linux. I have just purchased Apple MACPRO with 12 core, 32 GB RAM, 2TB hard drive, MAC OS Lion installed. I want to install Linux server on this machine.And can I run both MAC OS Lion and Linux Server side by side ? Can I put all my data at one place and use that data from any OS ?

Can anybody guide me how to install Linux server on this MACPRO.

Any help Appreciated.

Thank you.

HI Bioinformaticist,

You can try Bootcamp for your requirement. It is very easy to install and remove other operating system with Bootcam utility. You can find lots of tutorial on Internet about Bootcamp.
