Ubuntu – Installing ubuntu on MacBook Pro 9,1

12.04macbook pro

I bought a MacBook Pro 9,1 (Mid 2012, 15inch, NOT retina). Can anyone tell me how to install Ubuntu 12.04 on it? I already have Windows installed via BootCamp. Also, where to install drivers for Ubuntu and all? This link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro has nothing for 9,1 so please help me. If I have to remove BootCamp and reinstall Windows manually because BootCamp doesn't allow resizing of partitions, that's fine. Please tell me how to install Precise on MBP 9,1

Thanks!

My suggestion is to just install it on a flash drive and before it shows the apple boot logo, hold option key and select the flash drive. It performs surprisingly fast off a flash drive. I have a cousin that uses this method on his Mac.
