Repartitioning tool?

[Sic]

well, curiosity has finally gotten the better of me, and i want to try Linux. i have my Ubuntu install disc, now all's i need is a partition to install it on! can anyone recommend an app that will allow me to repartition my drive so that i don't have to reinstall OSX please? i don't fancy installing 2 OS's in one night!

thank you

The only app I've seen that does that is Drive Genius.

Or iPartition

You may want to give Parallels a try. It doesn't require partitioning, only disk space, and it runs as a virtual machine. You can get a trial copy - try it for a while.

EDIT: and enough memory!

Actually thinking about wont bootcamp partition the drive for you. Then you can install Linux on that partition.

Just a possibility, free to try.

Hi there... I hope it's not too late... But if you haven't partitioned your disk, you might wanna check out this link:

It's a disk partitioning using 'parted' utility in Ubuntu. Pretty simple and works for me!

Boot off your OS X install disc and use diskutil from the command line.
