History is repeating itself right now, so this will be my last post in these forums, for a while at least. Full-featured, No support included Reliable functionality, Performance is slower than Parallel Integrates easily with ESXi VMware Fusion has. *) I dropped out of these forums when MacIntel users were abandoned by the moderators late 2006, finding refuge in Debian. The VMware virtual graphics specification is SVGA, so don't expect fancy 3-D effects. The above suits my needs, being a computing-oriented user, not a gamer. Each virtual machine can work on a separate operating system: Windows, Linux, BSD, or MS-DOS. pvm file to the Parallels Virtual Machines list to add it to Parallels. This program allows for the installation of one or several virtual machines on one PC launching it along with the installed virtualized apps. Select the Windows data file you want to import, then click Open. a missed chance by the Hardy release team. VMware is software, which is suitable for 86-64 computers, which run on the operating system Windows or Linux. Also, the open-vm-source and -tools package is only available in the Debian testing/unstable repositories, not in the Hardy repositories. The Debian install was absolutely without any problems whatsoever the Ubuntu installer made a mess of the screen resolution (stuck in 800圆00, both during installation and after a reboot), which I repaired by just copying the nf file from its Debian counterpart.

Parallels for Mac is not really an option anymore, as it cannot handle 64-bit and/or multi-core hosts. Tired of Parallels Desktop or waiting for a VirtualBox version for Apple Silicon that will never appear First Beta of VMWare Fusion for Apple Silicon. Actually, I'm amazed and feel no urge anymore to handle all the work-arounds of running GNU/Linux directly on the MacIntel hardware (there are still a few problems with the latest 4,1 models, like sound and wireless). I've installed 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy and 64-bit mixed Debian testing/unstable VMs (giving them plenty of RAM) and I'm very pleased with how both of them perform. Now, recently I've upgraded my hardware to a 15" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro (the 4,1 model), ordered VMware Fusion with and - for good measure - maxed it out with 4GB of RAM.

It was all great fun: how to make sound work, how to get the special keys to work, how to get the screen resolution right, how to get iSight going, and how to solve the temperature problems (boy, did that MB run hot in those early days!), etc. I'm a veteran of installing GNU/Linux on MacIntel hardware, starting in 2006 with Ubuntu Dapper on my just retired original MacBook: double-booting, single-booting (with OS X on an external HD), experimenting with Parallels for Mac.
