Parallels Images ready to download! I have made some turn-key Parallels images for the Macbook. These have only been tested on the Macbook. Tuned, drivers, settings (1280x800 etc.), software.. Must have Parallels and a Macbook (other MAC's may work - just need to mess with screensize etc - But I can't be sure). Get'em while they are hot! Xubuntu 6.10 Ubuntu 6.10 BackTrack Freespire 1.0 Fedora Core 6 NEW! (12/13/06) PClinuxOS (no audio) Kanotix PCBSD 1.2 OpenSuse 10.2 NEW! (12/10/06) MEPIS 6.0 NEW! (12/31/06) -- Please help each other out for torrents etc. Just download, unzip and and run! You have a perfect Linux desktop that is all up-to-date, patched, all drivers and has a lot of great software. Nothing to "configure". Hope they help. Just get them and burn'em to a DVD for backup of "perfect/tuned" OS's. If you cannot download these freely over bit torrent - I do offer shipping of a DVD for a $7 donation. You can order here. ;) These images work fine. They download fine, and unzip fine. If somebody has an issue - it is an isolated incident. As you can see, there are 100's of people using them. If you have an issue, please ask for help. Burke ramsinks.com |

I don't have a torrent downloader... Do you offer the Zips for "straight" download anywhere? |

bittorrent definitely sucks. It took me more than a week to download the Suse package at speeds not faster then 4-6 Kb/sec. |

There is nothing wrong with BitTorrent, but most likely with the fact that there is only one person hosting the file along with dozens of other files and he's probably just got a cable modem uplink. what we need is a place on PTN to host these files. ;) __________________ 2.33GHz C2D MacBook Pro 3GB Ram OS X 10.4.9 XP SP2 Guest OS 768MB RAM, 32GB plain HD Vista Guest OS 1GB RAM, 16GB Expandable HD |

Related question that I have asked with no reply... http://forum.parallels.com/thread4229.html basically, I cannot get any of the nice network sniffers and other tools in backtrack to be of any use under Parallels as they all only see packets from the local subnet. I think there is some issue going on where promiscuous mode is not enabled or virtualized on the virtual network device. Ethereal works on my mac natively and can see everything but installed on any VM it only sees 10.x.x.x packets and internet traffic to and from the VM. Etherape is what I really wanted to get working as the Darwin Ports version does not display any data for some weird reason so is useless. Linux under parallels was my next hope but that seems crippled for this purpose. Or am i missing something? |

Help me out guys... Hey guys i'm kinda S.O.L. here. I'm in college (TnTech) and I can't figure out the port forwarding and proxy stuff. So i've been googlin like mad trying to find these files up for download via http I found one ubuntu and it was corrupted... (i guess the same one yall were talking about) So i'm asking if anyone has uploaded or knows anywhere to get either Xubuntu or Ubuntu already compiled for Parallels... If any of oyu guys could upload it to a server or something i'd give you like 400 cool points. I'm out of luck and I only go back home (unrestricted internet) every couple of weeks. |

You can just install them yourself. These images save a few hours of installing work, but they can be rebuilt by anyone. Its much easier to find the Xubuntu or Ubuntu install ISO's on http. __________________ MacBookPro C2D 2.4Ghz, 4gb RAM, 200gb Disk, 1tb USB2 Disk 2x Win XP Pro VM, 512mb RAM, 30gb Disk Win 2k VM, 265 mb RAM, 20 gb Disk Fedora 7 VM, 512mb RAM, 20gb Disk Red Hat Enterprise Linux (64 bit) VM, 512mb RAM, 20gb Disk Minix VM, 128mb RAM, 200mb Disk |
