I just got the notice of Parallels 4 being available. I searched the website and couldn't find any reference to the versions of Linux that are now supported. There was a reference in the promo literature to names of distros (Ubuntu, Mandriva, Fedora and one or two others, but not the versions of distros. I know I can download a demo and try it, but I'd like some inclination of what is supported before I go to the effort of doing this.

Aside from the version supported, I want to know if drag and drop is now supported in any version of Linux. Thanks.
 
Not all in the same time :), we are working on it, and added shared folders.
Worki is in progress and probably will be added in one of the subsequent updates
 
Sorry, I didn't mean shared folders; I meant drag and drop of files from/to virtual machine from/to Mac. This feature has been present in Windows virtual machines for awhile. Is it now implemented in any supported Linux distributions?

I can't get shared folders to work in Ubuntu 8.10

when I cd to /media/psf I see all the folders but get permission denied on all of them.

the permissions are wide open. (777)

I've tried to un-install and re-install parallels tools.
 
I've had this happen before. The problem may be that you've given permission to open a folder, but not to the enclosed items. If you do a Get Information on the Folder, you'll see a wheel-looking icon at the bottom of the window; the option for enclosed items is there.
