| ______________________________________ [May 12,2010 4:13pm - the_reverend ""] I'm typing this on a D620. If I hackintoshed, i would do a netbook so it's tiny. I would love a VM to develop on. how do you get a macox vm? I have access to vms. |
| ______________________________ [May 12,2010 4:24pm - ark ""] we use VMWare Fusion for virtualization FROM OSX (ie Windows running on mac) which is awesome, but you want mac running on windows, i've heard people having success following this guide http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Vmware_how_to it uses VMWare Server for Windows which is free now i guess? better than buying Mac hardware. |
| ______________________________________ [May 12,2010 4:25pm - the_reverend ""] I use VMWare server all the time. |
| ______________________________ [May 12,2010 4:29pm - ark ""] then do it, and report all failures. |
| ______________________________________ [May 12,2010 4:30pm - the_reverend ""] I really hate what VMS does to your machine now. version 3 ruled for me. v4 had a lot of promise. v5 is awesome for automation cause of the web interface and APIs that we control through reflection calls from a database. I used v3 to build knoppix for my work. v4, I used for running from a lab that you could log into from the outside world. |
| _________________________________ [May 12,2010 5:32pm - sxealex ""] u can dual boot your d620 also... vmware is the easiest solution if its just for testing but grub and os x86 is a possibility |
