Note that you’ll need to create a partition at least big enough to fit ubuntu–which is over 2 GB [not sure how big exactly, but larger than that], and that if ubuntu complains “your partition isn’t big enough” then they may actually be right, and it will err later on

VirtualBox enables you to run a virtual machine inside a window under OS X, whereas Boot Camp just enables you to boot into other operating systems.

I installed this on Vista a few days ago so I could test Ubuntu and a few other Linux distros to see which one I prefered. I think the Virtual Box is a great program, I have a friend who runs it from Linux too, he seems to like it.

I didn’t even see that page. I installed Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop and it appears to work fine. I’m not sure what additions they mean.
