Bump.. Ok.. I got some time to muck around with this thing.
*I managed to get Ubuntu 12.04 running on it.
*After mucking around with the kernel, I managed to get Virtual Box running on it.
*With Virtual Box, I’m able to get Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 32 bit version to run on it.
* I’m not able to get hardware acceleration (vt-x) to work on it….
* Consequently, I’m not able to get Windows 8 (32 or 64 bit) nor any prior version of Windows 64 bit to run with depends on vt-x….
At anyway rate, I have no use for this machine. Was hoping to turn this into a kid computer, but then having a 6-7 year deal with Ubuntu + VirtualBox to get to Windows so she can run her apps is probably too much…
So…..
Anyone got an older MacMini interested in a trade? Something with a Core 2 Duo with 2GB of ram or more????
