? I'm not sure what you mean: VMWare just runs as an application
under MacOS. You install other operating systems under it. So, for
instance, I'm using all my Mac apps plus I have a window open with
an OpenSolaris desktop and apps, or Ubuntu, or Windows.

Perhaps you're thinking of Boot Camp, which is a dual-boot setup.

If I had a 3-year-old laptop with only 500m memory and a bad CD
drive, I'd call it a doorstop and dump it.

Get the Mac and VMWare and you can play with as many distros as
you have disk space for, while you're listening to your music  :-)
