Ubuntu on Mac Mini?

[Narshwal]

I am very seriously considering purchasing a Mac Mini with the highest-performing optional hardware configurations, such as 2GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive. With it, I plan to dual-boot Mac and Ubuntu.

What I'd like to know is if there are any incompatibilities with the Mac Mini. I'm also interested to know how well it handles Desktop Effects. :) If anyone could help out, it would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. On a sidenote, if I did go with this, I think I'd create one partition for ALL media (including documents) that could be shared by Mac and Ubuntu. Could someone give any ideas on a suggested setup for all the partitions and sizes for them (one Mac, one Ubuntu, one media, and one swap)? Really, thank you thank you thank you ahead of time!
