[Rhodes22-list] Apple virtuality

[Ronald Lipton]

Mr Lipton?

Fermi Linux is a home grown version of Red Hat.  It's used for the
computer "farms" which are used for data analysis and
acquisition.  The farms are typically a few hundred machines.  We
actually tried windows for a while on one system and it was a complete
disaster.

I have run Linux and Windows simultaneously on different windows on the
Mac without any problems - but I didn't really do anything with them  
- just
tried it to see if it really worked.

Parallels allows Windows and the Mac to share a folder, but not the full
file system.  That feature is not available for Linux.
