Why won't Parallels install on Ubunut 9.04?
I am trying to install Parallels-2.2.2334_2-lin-en-parallels.deb on my Ubuntu 9.04 x86 box. Here is a screenshot of the error I get when using the gdebi pkg installer: http://bit.ly/3qWCmC. I have already tried dpkg-reconfigure debconf. Any idea what's happening here?

Parallels doesn't support AMD?
Figured it out. Parallels doesn't support AMD. Oh well, guess it's back to VBox. I like Vbox, but the screen is soooo small. Parallels give you a full screen a near native speed. Anyone know how to get the screen bigger in VBox?

Vbox bigger screen!
Funny I'm replying to my own posts. But maybe this will help someone else. I found the workaround for getting a larger screen in VBox. http://bit.ly/T1HAE. Cheers! Now I don't have to buy Parallels or VmWare!
