Uh, yeah right. It's free *FOR NOW*, but you'll soon have to pay for it once the code goes gold. So *FREE FOR NOW* is hardly an advantage over Parallels.
Ubuntu 7.04 works very well in VMware Fusion Beta 3 I might add. In general, I think VMware is the superior product. Parallels was first, but VMware will be the best choice.
@ordminuteI could believe that, but quitting all of my development tools, rebooting into Ubuntu to do something, and then rebooting back to get finish the other stuff I was doing would probably make up for the difference.Mac OS X is still my favorite environment, but Ubuntu is really quite impressive. I just don't have room for more than one desktop machine.
BTW it doesnt work as expected 'cause of the "Piix Intel 82801BA IDE" module problem.On my MacBook I tried many times without being able to install it, so I will try to install Ubuntu under VMware Fusion RC1 (it will enable me to go to 64bits mode too).It's a Parallels problem, since on the hardware emulation and stability side, it's not as good as VMware (nothing replace experience, especially bad ones!), but on a "Install Ubuntu on OS X using Parallels", this issue should have been covered instead of a word about "trying again" !I found this article to resolve my problem, and on the end, the only way is to change my VM manager! sad!

I am confused.. since OS X is built on BSD unix, what advantage do you get for running a version of linux in parallels?

Yeah you try that with Ubuntu 7.04 and let me know how it goes. You'll be the first one to successfully install it that way :)
