I installed Ubuntu in Parallels on my Macintel Mini. It works great,
and it's nice having all my OSes on 1 machine. Parallels is even better
with Virtue Desktops.
Here's some video (not my install, but a similar one):

Parallels blows VMware out of the water when it comes to performance.
It's like running a native install, rather than a virtual one.
Kind regards,
CB
