My question is why anyone would ever want to run linux or windows on their mac?

[McNToshX]

@eddysvideos33 There are quite a few programs that only run on windows, which is why you would install windows on your mac. Don't ask me why Linux, i personally don't use it at all, I just show everyone how its done.

A lot of gamers play windows on their mac (but via BootCamp not via Virtual Machine), to play their windows games on their mac, so that they don't have to have another computer for only that reason.

I try to follow the same steps from the video and I receive a message that says: Could not insert the VirtualBox Guess Additions installer CD image Into the virtial machine Ubuntu Name_name, as the machine has no CD/DVD-ROM drives. Please add a drive using the storage page of the virtual machine setting diolog. When I click on the install guess addition window (video 9:22). Help please!

Hello,

I would like to know if you could please teach me on how to create the switch from Ubuntu to Mac. Also am having difficulties making the full scream when I have Ubuntu. I would appreciate it

[eddysvideos33]

@john5743 People who talk crap about Apple usually have never owned one. The OS is superior to all other OS's I have ever used. It's worth the money, you just have to have it to spend it.

[john5743]

@eddysvideos33 Linux FTW. The real question is why would anyone spend twice as much money on a mac just for a shitty limited OS and a queer apple logo?

i have a recent version of ubuntu and i installed but every time i turn on the installation windows appears and i close the installation window and the computer reboot and turn on normally, how i can fix that? i have ubuntu 11.10 and i cant delete the file because delete my ubuntu too. if you dont understand tell me i dont speak english very well

[Fleigo]

I have now done what you said (btw, very nice toturial), but my mac shows ubuntu like very small, even if i choose fullscreen. Do you know how to make it bigger?

[Paolo80z]
