So here is the question: what's the best VM app for Linux desktop guests on a Mac OS X host? VirtualBox, VMware Fusion, Parallels, or any other? What do you like about it? Seamless mode is nice, but I wonder if VMware Fusion or Parallels will be nicer. Using an Ubuntu VM for all my development work seems to be the way to go. The current hardware generation (7,1) is not fully supported. Rewriting all the deployment scripts just to accommodate one Mac developer seems like a waste of time.ĭual-booting Ubuntu on this Mac doesn't seem like an option yet. They are all nice, but they don't provide a 100% drop-in replacement for Ubuntu packaging. I've been through Macports, Fink and Homebrew. I'm currently on a project with multiple dependencies, and which is configured for Ubuntu.Ĭonfiguring all these dependencies on OSX is a pain. I use a MacBook Pro as my primary machine, but my work targets Linux servers. (This question was originally posted at Server Fault, but Super User seems a more appropriate place to ask.)
