Here are a few: First, you can move the files in the EFI partition get the Mac firmware to recognize Ubuntu. The main advantage of using UNetbootin is that you do not need a CD for some distributions, since you are able to download them from the Internet (as Wubi does with Ubuntu) and install. The problem here is that EFI Ubuntu installs do not set up the software to boot on Mac's. UNetbootin is an application for Windows, Mac and Linux that lets you install almost any Linux distribution on a removable USB device or other disk partition. Addresses an issue that prevents certain applications signed with a Developer ID from launching.
In these cases, booting Windows in BIOS mode and Ubuntu in EFI mode would be a better option.
