Loaded 32-bit Ubuntu, and it comes up just fine, at normal speed. I
guess they really meant it when they said "support for 64-bit/2
processors - experimental."
An review I read today sings the virtues of "Parallels Workstation for
Windows and Linux" - this $50 competitor of VMware will run it's
virtual machines FASTER than native! And they support MACs as hosts...
They have a trial - http://parallels.com/en/products/workstation/
If they supported 64-bit I would buy it today.
In keeping with our Virtual theme here lately I've completed my final
setup of my laptop.
I've got Ubuntu 6.06 as my host running all my lovely apps. The one
quirk is that 3-D isn't quite right yet. I'm sure it's an issue with my
xorg.conf file; though, it doesn't bug me enought that I'll mess with it.
I have XP running as a virtual machine. It has a network interface that
is NAT through whichever laptop interface is working. I had issues with
XP not wanting to activate properly. I had to make a call to MS and
even talk to a real live person (read Indian). He gave me activation
numbers and all I had to tell him was this was the CD that came with the
laptop and that I had what looked to be a valid sticker. Quite the
security they have... wonder if the added labor costs come close to
making up the money from pirate versions. I bet not.
Anyway, I got the Soinicwall VPN client running in my virtual
environment and tested. It works very well.
Woohoo... no more having XP native on my box. This is a good day... a
VERY GOOD DAY!
