Abstract As a network and security architect, I sometimes need to test security and network policies using different OS. A virtual machine can help but what if you need to test policies against physical hardware? I have a 250GB SSD, and I’m going to allocate: • 50GB for OS X • 50GB for Windows • 150GB for Ubuntu Linux 16.04, my preferred OS I made lot of tests to make everything working fine, so be sure you follow the steps below carefully. Mind that you’ll need three USB keys: • Windows 10 installation • Windows 10 recovery • Ubuntu 16.04 installation Install or prepare OS X If you have a OSX installed on a single partition, filling the whole disk, go to the next step below in this paragraph. Otherwise, I suggest to reinstall OS X: • power off your Mac; • keep pressing command + R while you power on your Mac (release when the apple disappear) and boot into macOS Recovery mode; • OS X Utilities will be loaded: • open Disk Utility, select your main disk and press erase (do that more than once, if first attempt fails); • name your new partition OSX; • quit Disk Utility; • open Install OS X and install it. When installation is completed, consider to upgrade your OS X to latest version. After that: •; •; •; • and unpack it; • open BootCamp and prepare the first USB key for Windows installation media; • start UNetbootin and prepare also the second USB key for Ubuntu installation media; • download refind and unpack it; • open Disk Utility; • create another partition, leaving 50GB for OS X partition; • power off your Mac.

Install Windows At the end of this section, you will have a dual boot Mac: OS X and Windows 10. You can boot one OS using Startup Manager or via Boot Camp. Let’s begin: • insert the Windows installation USB key; • power on holding option/alt to open the Startup Manager; • boot from Windows installation USB key; • in the disk manager, remove the non OS X partition (remove the second one, the bigger one); • create a new 50GB partition and install Windows on it; • be sure Boot Camp package is installed too (it contains Mac drivers for Windows); • create a Windows USB recovery drive; • power off your Mac. Installing ReFind At the end of this section, we’ll install a new bootloader to better manage a multi OS Mac. Let’s begin: • keep pressing command + R while you power on your Mac (release when the apple disappear) and boot into macOS Recovery mode; • OS X Utilities will be loaded; • open Disk Utility and mount OS X partition; [Image] • quit Disk Utility; • open a terminal and install rEFInd (continue even if you got a warning). # cd /Volumes/OSX/Users/andrea/Destkop/refind-0.10.2 #./refind-install • power off your Mac. Install Ubuntu Linux At the end of this section, you will have a dual boot Mac: OS X and Ubuntu Linux 16.04.

Windows 10 will be broken by Ubuntu installation. Let’s begin: • insert the Ubuntu installation USB key; • power on holding option/alt to open the Startup Manager; • boot from Ubuntu installation USB key; • install Ubuntu using the free space (about 150GB); • power off your Mac.

Installation Download elementary OS If you haven't already, you will need to. You will need to copy the downloaded ISO file to a USB flash drive using the instructions below. Recommended System Specifications While we don't have a strict set of minimum system requirements, we recommend at least the following specifications for the best experience: • Recent Intel i3 or comparable dual-core 64-bit processor • 4 GB of system memory (RAM) • Solid state drive (SSD) with 15 GB of free space • Internet access • 1024×768 display. Creating an Install Drive You'll need a USB flash drive with at least 2 GB of free space and a program called Rufus. • Open Rufus • Insert your USB drive and select it in the 'Device' list • Select 'Disk or ISO image' in the 'Boot selection' list • Click 'SELECT' to choose the ISO that you downloaded previously. • We generate a checksum (or hash sum) for elementary OS images so you can verify your downloaded file. This ensures that you've received the full, complete download and that your install image is not corrupted in any way.
