Thanks for the link!  I can follow those instructions, though I now  
am unsure if I will or not.

I do have good backups of my OSX stuff.  But if things happened to  
get hosed up, I'm still looking at several hours of reformatting,  
reinstalling, and restoring data.  Just because I wouldn't  
permenantly lose data doesn't mean it wouldn't be a PITA to get it  
back.  I'm not sure it's worth that.  I may just wait until this is  
either less experimental, or I get some different hardware to run  
Ubuntu on.
