Os x virtualization on linux mac os x#
I've been using VMWare since 2.0 and love it. Once again, this is because Mac OS X’s license agreement only allows you to run Mac OS X on Macs. The price is about $50.00 compared to (I believe) VMWare's $99, but if VMWare came out with a beta for OS X today, I'd drop Parallels in a heart-beat.
I'll be able to tell soon how this thing stacks up to VMWare.
If the upgrade from 2000 to XP craps out, I'll just 2000 in there (doesn't matter what I use, I just want Win in there for Quicken and QuickBooks).
Os x virtualization on linux install#
Of course, Parallels locks the device so you can't eject it so for me, to get XP in there, I need to install 2000 first (because my disk is an upgrade disk). Then you can tell Parallels to use "/dev/disk1s0" (or whatever the partition device is) and it'll work. If you try to unmount this in disk utility or anything, the CD will get ejected so you need to do "sudo umount /Volumes/W2PFPP_EN" (or whatever it is) to unmount it but leave the CD in the drive. To improve the performance, Qemu is able to use KVM, which is Linux’s kernel framework to support Intel’s and AMD’s hardware virtualization extensions (e. On OS X, I use also Qemu to test my kernel extensions. In my case I saw: /dev/disk1s0 on /Volumes/W2PFPP_EN Maybe you can recognize from my former posts, that - beside Linux - OS X is my favorite operating system. I did finally figure out that you can stick in your install CD, let it mount, then pop to the terminal and type "mount" to see what you've got mounted. Linux ubuntu 3.13. OS X 10.9.5, late 2013 retina 15-inch MacBook Pro. Tried pointing it to the mountpoint, etc. Anybody uses PMU virtualization on a Linux guest Discussion in Linux Guest OS Discussion started by nickolay, Jul 25, 2015. you can use an ISO image for the CD (like you can in VMWare), but I couldn't make it see a real CD-ROM/DVD-ROM device. Currently, I'm installing Windows 2000 in it (my XP disk is an upgrade disk and I can't seem to swap real CDs during install). So this thing has a beta you can download and trial. I've used a lot of different desktop virtualization software: VMWare, VirtualPC (which stunk), and Qemu (I've tried the Q frontend on OS X and it's ok). Now, I've never heard of these guys before. on a mac.īut wait! Today a beta of Parallels is available for OS X. I've been waiting for VMWare to step up to the plate and offer a Mac version of their workstation product so I can run Linux, Windows, etc. Not good enough for me, but a good first step. Well, like pretty much everyone, I was pretty pleased to see BootCamp released by Apple a tool that allows one to dual-boot an intel mac.
