    @flu

    Otherwise, ubuntu is way more flexible for what I need 95% of the time.

    You may also want to consider Fedora Core 10 or 11. There is a lot more in the FC10 distro than the Ubuntu… which can be a plus or minus. With FC10, if you are going to development work, you need to alter the default install which will not include the dev environment(Its menu driven and easy to do). I have FC10 on my old Dell M60 and it seems to have no problem.. though I do with I had a bigger hard drive (I have both W2k and FC10 on the notebook). If you are going to try FC10/11, you will probably want to use BitTorrent to download it, or I can make a copy of my DVD… ‘message’ me for further info.

    [quote=afx114]Sorry for the semi-threadjack, but I’m wondering about swinging the other way… Parallels vs VMware: Which do you recommend?[/quote]
    VMWare is reported to be better.
    I use parallels it’s okay but the customer support is in minsk, no kidding.

    a few years ago parallels was better, now VMWare is reported to be better,
    but it’s not order of magnitude difference.

    [quote=ucodegen]You may also want to consider Fedora Core 10 or 11.[/quote]

    A caveat to using Fedora Core is that it is their “bleeding edge” branch. Normally that is a plus, but it’s bitten me in the ass before. General rule of thumb is to only go with Fedora Core if you are ok with stuff potentially breaking or being incompatible. If you want something stable FC is not the way to go. But if you need the latest versions of everything, FC is sweet.

    I use virtualbox, and map actually partitions to the disk image so that I can triple boot or run a virtualized instance without having to keep duplicate copies of the same os. The only problem is with WindozeXP with SP3 if I boot from WindozeXP and then later if I run WindozeXP from a virtualized instance from either OSX or Ubuntu, I need to redo the product activation.
