The tool copies any Linux distribution ISO to the USB along with some special EFI firmware. This firmware is based on GRUB and it is invoked by the Mac upon boot. Once invoked, it then boots Linux normally from the ISO as if BIOS was being used. Mac Linux USB Loader has been tested with Ubuntu and its derivatives but it should work with other distros as well.
It is still in beta stage so there can be some issues though. I don't have a Mac so I couldn't test it but if anyone is interested in using the app, check it out on.
If you own a Mac and want to try out Linux on it, the first resistance you’ll face will be at the bootloader. Loading Linux on a Mac is not straightforward due to Apple’s own EFI tweaks. Enterprise is a tool to create Linux bootable USB without any external tools like rEFIt or rEFInd. It operates as the first stage of the 2-stage booting process. Enterprise is written in C and can boot only Intel Macs with 64-bit EFI firmware. It can’t boot 64-bit devices with 32-bit EFI firmware at the time of writing.
