Yeah, I run CFMX on Mac OSX. It's unsupported and certain things don't (and will not) work on it, e.g., Verity. The article will say: 1 install Virtual PC on your Mac 2 install Linux on that Virtual PC 3 download and install the Linux trial of CFMX 4 create a tarball (.tar.gz) of the installed system 5 put in on your native Mac filesystem 6 unpack it with tar xvfz 7 hack the coldfusion startup script 8 voila! I started with the tarball at step 5 (thanx to a couple of folks who had already done the Linux install) and have a script created by a Mac-head (so I skipped step 7). It's ugly but it works, mostly. p.s. could people who respond to digests actually take the time to TRIM THE RESPONSE DOWN A LITTLE! Thank you!
