For someone who hasn't even taken possession of his Mac Book yet, I'm asking a lot of questions. I understand that Leopard is actually built on the Linux OS. Thus, will VO work under native Linux? Is there even a way to easily run Linux on the Mac Book and if so, will Fusion allow me to accomplish this? I will purchase fusion to be able to switch between Windows and the Mac OS. But does Fusion also have the ability to let me work under Linux, too. If yes, will VO run with Linux? Is it an either or thing with Fusion, i.e. I can either switch between Leopard and Windows or Leopard and Linux? This morning, I will be going with my daughter, Astrid, to the U.S. Embassy here in Vienna to renew her passport. That process brings me one step closer to flying to Illinois, visiting family and friends, and getting acquainted with my new Mac Book later this month. I can hardly wait! My best to all of you, Mike
