Re: Installing Linux in VMWare Fusion with Leopard
Why the need when OS X is just that, A UNIX based operating environment, linux programs are already running with significant amounts binary coded if not installed.

I f not so gung-ho try Mac Ports. http://www.macports.org/ Terminal is the door to the window (GUI's) or said programs if command line based. Lots of shell variations and configurations to personalise. Oh by the way all these operate whilst OS X is loaded no rebooting necessary just launch relevant program it will launch in its own X window or blend into Aqua-Apple style. Daemons will launch and do relevant job or task pending on daemon required. One can even load a new GUI desktop environment like KDE, Gnome or others as an associate of Aqua or to replace totally.

Re: Installing Linux in VMWare Fusion with Leopard
Hi Rob Food for thought. I'm certainly not gung ho and have no real Terminal experience. I've now got Ubuntu running in Fusion, along with XP2. I've done it just to prove to myself (and to some disbelievers at school) that it can be done. Are you indicating I could run Ubuntu 'native' in OS X? I'd like to try that too, given the time to set it up, but there's no really practical reason for me to do so. I'm a happy Leopard user who likes to occasionally play around with other stuff. I've never used any Linux OS before this weekend.

Re: Installing Linux in VMWare Fusion with Leopard
While BSD is similar to Linux, they aren't the same. If understanding Linux is the outcome, then Ubuntu very easy path. Even if you want to learn about 'Terminal', learning about Linux via Ubuntu will be far easier - using OS X via Terminal will be relatively easy then. Unfortunately not so the other way around :) Glenn. 2008/11/17 Reg Whitely [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Rob Food for thought. I'm certainly not gung ho and have no real Terminal experience.

Selling Photoshop CS4 Upgrade Mac
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Upgrade Mac, $190 cash. Online resellers ask about $300 (about $330 from Apple). Seal broken but software unused. Boxed, includes 2 discs, serial numbers. You will need a licensed copy of Photoshop CS, or CS2, or CS3 in order to use this upgrade. I bought this item thinking I could upgrade my copy of Photoshop CS2 (part of Premium Suite). However, in its infinite marketing wisdom, Adobe does not permit this kind of upgrade. I have to upgrade the entire Suite. I could exchange and spend over $700 to do that. No way. Instead, I'm going to wean myself of Adobe products. Pick up in Sawyers Valley. It's a pleasant drive from most suburbs. Will ship for $10, if full payment received.
