I did an install of Ubuntu (alternative) and things went great, except, when Ubuntu gets to staring its graphical login screen, the Parallels window gets enlarged to the point where I can no longer resize it (since I cannot grab the lower right corner of the App window). I cannot get into full screen (resolutions are not supported) but the problem remains when parallels falls back from trying to go full screen. Any tips on how to get the Parallels window to fit within the confines of the macbook pro screen?
change the guest os screen resolution see this thread for one possible solution http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?p=13996#post13996
