Hi Jim,

Have an eye to Sun VirtualBox 3 (free), as a possible alternative to WMware. I switched from Parallels and never went back to it nor WMware. Run faster and safer than Parallels and never crashes.

MBP Pro first gen (32 bits) - OS X 10.5.8 - 2 Go RAM - 300 GB 5400 t/ mn HD

Win 2000 Pro (directly stored as a 10 Go file inside the standard journalised OS X file system) Win XP Pro (directly stored as a 16 Go file inside the standard journalised OS X file system) Ubuntu 8 (directly stored as a 10 Go file inside the standard journalised OS X file system)

No need to format separate partitions.

Best,

Pierre

I might be getting a 13" 160 GB  MacBook Pro

I'm thinking of using VMware Fusion to add at least one version of Windows or maybe more. This will hopefully be my travel machine that I want to use for development while away, so I'd like to get all I might need in it.

I usually don't have tons of music, movies, and stuff on my machine so I think the 160 GB should do.

What have other people done with their machines?

What OS(s) have you loaded - XP, Vista,Windows 7?

If Linux, what flavor might be the best/most common to develop for?

How did you partition it? What sizes for each?

What would you do differently if they did it over again (likely the most informative question/answer!)?

TIA
