No, the main reason I want to install Ubuntu is for enhanced OpenGL  
performance. I want to boot into Ubuntu without having it wrapped in  
a virtual machine, which is sure to limit 3D and network performance.

Is it possible to make a partition for Ubuntu, just like I have  
partitions for Windows Vista and Mac OS X? And when I boot, to choose  
between them?

I know on PC's, you can have multiple OS's installed, and choose  
which to boot into. But how do you do this on a Mac? Or can you not  
do it? (Please say it's it's possible, for if it's not, that would  
be... ultra lame.)
