It will fly in comparison. Really. But probably a bit less so than it
would compared with Tiger running off the internal drive (Coz those
drives are a tad slow). My iMac is a 350 MHz Grape with 256MB ram,
Ubuntu runs just dandy.

Apple partition maps and HFS/HFS+ are supported. Writing to them *can*
mess up your disk to the point of needing DiskWarrior, though.
