After announcing my successful installation of Windows 7 on Mac using the free Mac OS utility Boot Camp, I was referred by a colleague to a virtualization software package called VirtualBox.
Wouldn’t you know it, a few moments later I had RHEL Linux 64-bit server running in a VM on the MacBook Pro. Three diverse OSs running on one machine with very little effort!
Lesson Learned:
- If you installed using an iso image rather than a physical DVD, don’t forget to unmount the image from the virtual CD/DVD drive once done or else the next time you start the VM, it will startup the install if the virtual CD/DVD drive is placed ahead of the HD in startup priority.
