Hi Snit,

I have to get a Mac. What I need to run Linux and Windows virtual
machines on top of OS X? Any free programs available ?

Use VirtualBox. Works very well
Alternativly, install them as Dual/Triple Boot.
You need Grub2 for linux, though, to make that a simple process, because the
Mac uses UEFI and not a standard BIOS

But why?

Easier to buy a brand new PC and run Linux 24/7!
Cost of PC with micoshaft tax about 200 UK pounds.
Put an SSD and it goes up to 300 UK pounds but your machine
will be just too fast for words - between 10 and 20 seconds to boot.
Get one with AMD APU and the graphics is integrated into the CPU
and thats a whole faster (I MEAN INCREDIBLY FASTER) than standard
PCs with external graphics cards.

Second hand PC just as good and option and faster than virtualbox - about
50 UK pounds on ebay.

On 5/9/12 1:25 AM, in article d5GdnQkZYMkIsTfS...@giganews.com,
There are free programs, or at least one: VirtualBox. I tried it and found
it to not work as well as Parallels. While Parallels can sometimes be a bit
slow in their updates for Linux, overall their drivers are better for Linux
and for Window and you will get better results / integration with that.

So that is what I use: Parallels - and it has served me very well. Another
choice is VMWare, but I found they tend to be behind Parallels... with that
said, I stopped using both a couple versions ago and have just stuck with
Parallels. It might be that VMWare has caught up (though the reviews I have
read generally still rate Parallels as higher) - they certainly have a good
history and name with virtual machines.

My advice: try VirtualBox. If you find it works well for you then stick
with it. If you find the video drivers are quirky and there are other
problems - then move up to Parallels (though I believe you will have to do a
full re-install).

Curious: what is your need for the virtual machines... that might change a
bit of my suggestion above. And just curious. :)

Good question.
Why anyone would want to hose up a fine machine like Apple makes
with Linux is beyond reason.

OSX is a great operating system.

Linux is crap, at least for the desktop.

Still, I encourage folks who want to be knowledgeable about technology to
learn about the alternatives. I think it is great when people want to take
a look at Linux and work with it themselves. Some might even find it serves
there needs well - though, as the evidence shows, such instances are rare.

I still remember trying to install Yellow Dog linux on an iMac G5.
The idiots didn't take into account that the G5 runs pretty hot and
forgot to turn on the cooling fans. A bit of smoke started to come out,
so I pulled the plug. Another disastrous distro.
Of course the mac survived.

And may I add it pays the bill quite good because the Mac users

Well you are probably lying because I know something about electronics
work. When the magical smoke starts to escape from components you are
typically at the point of no return and you have to replace components :-)

In other words if smoke was coming out from that Mac it won't survive that

I had an old Apple IIe which overheated and part of it even was sparking (a
third party modem I had added). I remove that... the inside of the case was
covered in soot from a small fire in the case.

The machine worked fine after that. The modem, of course, did not.

Not totally true in Apples situation. If you don't need Xcode then the
price is steep. Xcode is free. VS2010 Pro is not free. Add the price
of VS2010 Pro with an equivalent i5 PC with a separate graphics card and
you easily exceed the price of the Apple.

If I get time again, and happen to get a modern version of Fusion, I might
compare it with Parallels... but so far I am pretty happy with Parallels.
The two companies do keep pushing each other to improve their products.

No, not at all... unless you want it to, and even then you are given the
choice of using Apple's full screen tools or the Parallels full screen
system, which allows you more flexibility (such as allowing full screen on
one screen while allowing you to use the other... I still do not get what
Apple is thinking to have their full screen setting pretty much make a
second screen useless... and not even give you the option to use the second
screen as the full screen device... but I digress). You also can use
"coherency" mode where applications "float" in layers much like if they were
native OS X windows (Fusion has a similar feature). There is also, of
course, a windowed mode - which is how I usually use it. And in that mode
if you change the size of the window the guest OS will automatically set
itself to fit that size (works with Windows and Linux - though sometimes the
drivers on Linux get more behind than I would like). Oh, and if you do use
full screen you can use one or more screens in that mode.

Fusion has much the same from what I recall.

Just a real quick look at the views on Parallels... and I did not cover it
all. You will see it lag at times, but if you look at the top of my screen
you will see a dark circle - that is my RAM indicator: you will see it is
pegged out - my 8 GB were maxed. I has just been using Dreamweaver CS6,
Photoshop CS6, Pages, and a number of other programs (including the resource
hogging Entourage I use for Usenet). I generally do not see even the level
of lag you will see in the video.

It seems you are even more incompetent than previously thought, becaause you
also have problems with VirtualBox on other platforms. Problems no one else
has or can reproduce.

Pure bunk. VB will never utilize 100% of the screen.

On Win7 the task bar and the upper main window title show when Virtual

Who cares about VirtualBox on windows? I use VirtualBox to run windows as a

And then, VirtualBox on OSX *and* on Linux can run *totally* fullscreen, I
have no doubt that it can on windows too.

And there is no way to turn this off and make it go true full screen? If so
that is rather daft.

I played with it a bit - the video drivers were slow and there were other
problems. Parallels was a much better solution.

You should then. You seem to be pretty ignorant and can't follow the
thread very well. Why would I want to use Virtual Box on Linux?
It would be a massive waste of time, considering the blatant bugs.

Not the earlier versions they didn't.
I purchased VMware for the Mac at the time and it works a whole lot
better than Virtual Box. You can't even get Solaris, a real UNIX, to
run correctly on Virtual Box.

Actually, no, it does not. VirtualBox has bypassed VMware in nearly all
things. VMware shines for ISPs, where the complete machine is virtualized
into many virtual ones. It uses a linux as underlying OS, btw. But that is
not the VMware a private perseon would use. Way too expensive. These are the
vSphere and/or vCenter versions of VMware

> You can't even get Solaris, a real UNIX, to

I see. That must be the reason why the predefined virtual machine setups in
virtualbox are (in this order)

Microsoft Windows
Linux
Solaris
BSD
IBM OS/2
Mac OSX
Other

Notice the "Solaris", you braindead clod? How stupid are you, really?
You are so incredibly incompetent that you seem to be father of Hadron and
Snot Glasser.

VirtualBox includes these predefined setups to have a starting point which
has several settings optimized for the intended use, you cretinous Snit.

Why now would they include Solaris as one of the options when it does not
run under it, prey tell? They even manage to run OS/2 in virtualbox, which
is an OS where VMware just balks

It can. Company policy is Win7 even though we develop for embedded

Virtualbox on a Windows 7 host. This works fine for everyone but

Indeed, it can, as I can attest by looking at the screen of my cubemate,
who runs Win 2003 Server and XP in VM's hosted on Win 7.

I'm not sure why the old goat isn't willing to listen to us.

My wife's XP machine is running full-screen in a VM hosted on Debian.
Another person was using this computer. After awhile, I noted aloud
that Windows was running on a virtual machine, and the person said "Huh?
I wondered what that little line (the hidden VirtualBox taskbar) was."

Indeed. We use VirtualBox heavily at work. Most host it on Windows 7.
I hosted in Debian. It works great, and I think it is is *faster* and
more stable on Linux than on the Windows boxes that others use.

Well, I'm sure "Hadron" still thinks he knows more about apt than Daniel
Burrows.

Maybe I should start lying like "Hadron" does:

"Hadron" is on record as claiming he knows more about the apt
system than the lead developer of apt.

VMware, if you'll check out their latest supports much more than you'd

VMWare is far superior to a freebie.

Now go look on those Win7 hosts that run Virtual Box and you'll see the
task bar from Win7 at the bottom. That isn't 100% screen usage by the
guest at all.
Unlike VMware that does.

I mostly use it on my second monitor where Windows doesn't put a
taskbar, but you are still wrong.

Just now, just for you, I started up an XP VM on this Debian machine
that does not have a second monitor. Used right-alt-f to make it full
screen. No KDE taskbar, Windows took over the whole screen. Another
right-alt-f and it is back in a window.

It behaves exactly the same with Win7 as the host.

Now, if I just click on the maximize button on the VM window title bar
it will behave as you describe. Then I get just a regular maximized
window with the KDE taskbar still showing. But if I use the hotkey or
View>Switch to Fullscreen on the menu, then it really goes full-screen.

Dude, I use Virtualbox EVERY DAY at work. Sometimes I run system
simulations with 3 or 4 VM's networked together at the same time. I'm
pretty sure I know the basics.

Apple now has a standard way for programs to do full screen (though programs
are not limited to that - thankfully). I know the Windows UI does not have
the same thing (though it does have maximize)... does the API?

I stripped out Nortons and installed Avast. Problem went away.
I also noticed that Nortons got in the way when I was using Konq to look
at a website that Norton would'nt let even Firefox look at.
Now I don't have that problem and now full screen mode works.

Fewer than the problems I've had with Linux.
But the worst problem of all is when a vendor, like Apple, starts
changing the development environment around to be almost useless. Xcode
4.x comes to mind.

What I've tried to explain to a few in here is that the computer market
as a whole has stagnated to the point of boredom. The last real
innovator in the market as Amiga... and it died a long time ago.
Nothing really new has come around since. Face it... Linux is centered
around a Unix like os, which is pretty good there, but also uses an even
older paradigm than windows --> X11. I've spent too many years fighting
with X11 a long time ago and I'm looking for something far more
modern... but there really isn't anything.

So why should I get demonized because of my choice for win7?
I thought the mantra was all about choices.

What? You haven't noticed what is going on in the mobile space? Or did
you ignore it because Linux is such a big player?

Android does not use X11.

You get "demonized" because you act like a crank. You say incredibly
bogus things and when challenged you refuse to back down, even when it
is a question of known fact, not opinion. You call everyone who points
out your error "liars" and "herd members" and worse.

This VirtualBox debacle being a case study. You insisted over and over,
after being told you were wrong by probably a dozen people (and,
incidentally, by the VirtualBox manual and web site) that VirtualBox
COULD NOT run a full-screen guest session. Everyone who said otherwise
was an idiot and a shill and lying, you were the only one that was
right.

And when you finally figured out the error, which was entirely specific
to the Win7 platform you praise so much, no apologies were forthcoming.

You aren't here touting the virtues of Win7 (yes, there are some), you
are here denigrating and spewing vitirol. You are acting like a classic
Internet Crank.

Not in this case. Nortons was the problem, not me. And I can't blame
it on win7 either, because HP preloaded it with Nortons.
I noticed that Nortons got in the way of Konq when I went to a russian
website to look at one of their news articles, and Nortons popup said
that this was a malicious website. Well, it wasn't.

I've got vs2010 pro and no problems yet... nothing near as disastrous as
Xcode. There are too many little tiny icons scattered all over the main
window that doesn't really suggest what it does. Not intuitive at all.

Could it be that they start off with a venomous remark in the first place.
It does no good to say "RTFM" or "You are an idiot".
That isn't advocacy. They are the ones that are cranky. And you can
blame the start of it by looking at Chrisv.

And it wouldn't, till I noticed that Nortons was getting in the way.
The problem has since been fixed by dumping it. I could have just lied

I was keeping my cool with you and not insulting you because I respected

Peter doesn't deserve any apologies for the way he is acting, and I
doubt anybody would offer him or others any apologies for their
behaviour. I'm not a punching bag for them and I'll dish it back to
them in the same manner they started off with. It is their own behaviour.

Only dishing back what they started with. If they hadn't I wouldn't
have. If you had followed chris ahlstroms comments in the beginning,
along with chrisv nasty attacks, chris and I were getting along fine
till he started getting nervous and attacked first. Would you put up
with their behaviour towards you if you found a different platform that
you liked? I bet not.
