Vista with Ubuntu too

M

Mac

Well, VPC 2007 didn't work for me with Ubuntu 7.04, as you well know.

Care to share the secret of your success?

We are all ears.

And I should also ask thus...

What version of Ubuntu?

By "working" do you mean fully operative - or just doing the minimal basics?

Tx.

But, would you try it?

My preferred way would be to run Windows (be it XP or Vista) via VMWare
from inside Ubuntu.

Put windows where it belongs: In a window.

I am just waiting until VMWare finishes its support for DX9 and then I can
do it.

Why not? I don't recommend letting an OS shrink/manipulate existing
partitions during an install though. I prefer to create some unallocated
space then install Ubuntu or Windows or whatever into this space. That way
you don't end up with any surprises. Other than that dual booting Ubuntu and
Vista is easier than dual booting XP and Vista. In general dual booting any
Linux and any Windows has less problems than dual booting two different
versions of Windows.

I've got a nice set-up here with VirtualBox 1.4 running Ubuntu 7.04 on top
of Vista.

I had ubuntu running on it's own disk, dual booting with vista - gave no
problems. I used EasyBCD1.5.2 to set up the boot.

Hi,

I have a friend recently brought his Mac installed with parallel desktop
which can run Mac OS, Windows, and/or Linux at the same time without dual
boot.

This is the site for the product: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/

Discalimer: Have no association with the company in any ways. Also, I did
not test it intensively and just had a quick look but was impressed.

If that works well for my friend, I might consider an Intel-based Mac in the
future.

I have a co-worker who has a couple of Macs... likes them quite a bit.
(Which I take as good testimony since we have zero Macs to support on our
project.) He's sung the praises of Parallels. Sounds pretty interesting.
I've wanted to buy a Mac for years but each time I buy a new computer, PC's
just whip the sh*t out of Macs "bang for the buck-wise." Having seen the
promos for Leopard, I may start saving up for a Mac purchase after Leopard
is released.

I posted the link based on my memory and quickly searched the web but later
found out they also have one for Windows/Linux.

If I have time, I might study them more and maybe give it a try.

Mac is really cool. I think they are going to the right direction, even
slowly, and they should really focus on bang on the bucks thing, since you
are not the only one, rightfully, think that is a major weakness.

I also found more youngsters are now using and thinking about Intel Mac,
which in the long run, will be a big threat to the company. If I could save
enough money, I probably will buy one and have both or even Linux all in one
machine, and that probably will be the coolest thing :)

Sounds good for Mac users. I understand VirtualBox are soon to release of
version for Mac too.

Virtualization is definitely going to be popular...

Yeah, the "bang-for-the-buck thing is huge for me. I'll have to see what 17"
iMac's are going for when Leopard hits the streets. I've never been much of
a dual-boot kinda guy. Just don't like it that much. That's why Parallels
sounds so interesting... you get the best of all worlds right on your
desktop. Of course, that would push up the initial cost of the iMac because
one would probably want 4GB's RAM if one intended to run Leopard and Vista
simultaneously. And Apple RAM ain't cheap. And I don't know if I'd want to
take a shot at installing 3rd party RAM on a Mac... not after the stuff I've
read in the Apple forums.We'll see. I have Windows Home Server to play
around with in the interim... ;-)

I have a Mac Mini (PowerPC) which dual boots MacOSX / Ubuntu 6.10, and I
use it exclusively for testing my web applications.

Takes up virtually no space, and shares keyboard, video and monitor with
my PCs via this:

Yeah, I have an 8 port KVM; a Mac Mini would fit very nicely into that
scenario except, from what I've read, they're going to be the only Mac to
not go 64-bit when Leopard is released.

Yes, I'd think so and that would save a lot of troubles for people wish to
use or test several OSes.

No doubt it will be expensive. But I probably will stick to 15.4" or it will
be too heavy for me on the road and use an external monitor at the office
and home.

Same here.

I also heard that's a pretty good product but I will wait a bit of longer to
test it.
