I would like to run ubuntu and mac osx 10.4 on the same laptop. The laptop I have is a macbook pro 15 inch screen. Which program do you think would be the best one to use. Parallels desktop for mac or bootcamp? Will bootcamp allow me to run either ubuntu or mac osx one at a time? Or will parallels allow me to run ubuntu and macosx one at a time?
AFAIK Bootcamp (unlike Parallels) is not a virtualization application. And you'll have to reboot your mac to use either Ubuntu or Mac OS. With Parallels, you'll be able to use both simultaneously.
I am wondering which is more convenient, between Parallels and VMWare Fusion. From wikipedia, it seems integration is higher and better with Parallels, but that it does not support SMP and 64bits...
I would like to buy one of these to run Gentoo linux (so multi CPU matters) in, so I am not too sure.
Has anyone experience with both and could comment on the actual usability on a daily usage? Thanks.
Thank you, you are probably right and I need to find some time (which is lacking these days) then... though I just found http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/...-fusion_4.html
who recommends Fusion for running linux.
