I need to test out some Web site programming on a Linux system and have determined that the Ubuntu distribution is ideal. My question: what's the best, easiest way to install Ubuntu Linux on my Mac system so I can run all my tests?

I've just upgraded from VMware Fusion 3 to the latest 4.0 release since I'm running Lion and the company says it's a lot faster, but now it's complaining that Windows 7 is out of date and needs to be updated? What's going on and how do I fix it?

I want to start exploring the new Microsoft Windows 8 developer preview that was released but I don't want to overwrite the OS on my Win7 laptop. Instead, I was wondering if I could successfully install Windows 8 DP on my MacBook Pro using the latest version of VMWare Fusion (v 4.0)? Possible?

I've been a big fan of Time Machine, the backup system on my Mac OS X computer, but sometimes the backup is slow. I use VMware Fusion for some testing and have been recently wondering if that's affecting things adversely?

I've been experimenting with Microsoft Windows 7 beta on my Mac OS X system through using VMware Fusion and while I don't know of anyone else doing this, I have read on the Internet that it's a viable combo. Problem is, when I actually try it, I find that there's no Internet access and Windows 7 complains that there's no "Ethernet driver" installed? How do I fix that?

I just upgraded VMware Fusion from 2.0 to 2.0.2 and now when I try to run my Microsoft Windows XP virtual machine, it doesn't run, it first tells me that I have an old virtual machine and need to upgrade it, then tells me that VMware Fusion cannot connect to the virtual machine. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

After many years of using a PC, I've finally switched to a Mac and am now running Microsoft Windows Vista within the VMware Fusion environment. I have heard from a bunch of people that it's better than Parallels. Anyway, be that as it may, can you tell me how to install the VMware Tools, which apparently I need?

Bad news. Every time I try to reboot my Microsoft Vista virtual machine in VMWare Fusion on my Mac, it says tht something's corrupted and it can't proceed. What the heck can I do about it?
