parallels

turns out that buried in the troubleshooting section of the parallels user guide pdf solved my networking problem. my firewall was the problem. once i fixed that, parallels worked great. MUCH faster than vmware, virtual pc, or virtualbox.



i like it enough to actually use it on a regular basis. i still need to keep windows around though. and for the linux fan boys that are wondering why, i can give you a list of programs where there's no linux equivalent. my goal is to tackle the software i need one by one and get it working under parallels/ubuntu.
