Although it's feature set is less rich - I'm not finding I miss that much and it's very solid. @Rich: yes I’m much happier with it overall.

Are you much happier with it? I wasn't familiar with Fusion ... might have to look it up ... On my PC's, I'm interested in using ubuntu 8.04 as host for Win XP ... trying to figure out what and how next ... VMware doesn't appear compatible with 8.04. Thanks and take care, -Rich Stuart, how do like VMware? Are you much happier with it?

I've already added a "1440 x 900" line in Parallels ... but it doesn't seem to have helped in any way. In full screen mode, I have a 1" to 1.5" border all around my 1024 x 768 screen.

I've run through the install and system update, and I have ubuntu up and running. Now when I try to issue the command you recommend I get package not installed. I try apt-get to install it, but it says package not found. Any ideas? OK, sorry for all the comments. I’ve run through the install and system update, and I have ubuntu up and running.

When I initiate the install process, I get as far as step 4, where it asks me for my identity info. When I hit submit, it hangs. I've tried with the VM set to Ubuntu and also to Other 26 kernel--no dice. It hangs at the same point. I’m trying to install Kubuntu 6.06 under parallels 3.0 from a DVD.

It's not your 64-bit MacBook Pro but the 32-bit Parallels virtual machine which is running Ubuntu. Remember, as far as Ubuntu is concerned, the virtual machine is all that's available. So download the 32-bit version of Ubuntu and you're fine. To those with 64-bit problems: you’re making a mistake.
