martinsky Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Do you have different partitions or virtualization? and why? I see that for my hardware Mac OS X is the best OS, but Linux is fun and free, and the best drivers and games are for Windows. Tri-boot is cool but it is difficult to share the files among the OSes, maybe the best configuration is to use Windows as main OS (for tv card driver and the overclock utility) and to keep Linux and Mac virtualized. Will XQuartz work in VMware or VirtualBox? Compiz works http://blogs.gnome.org/calum/2009/04/08/compiz-in-a-box/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Do you have different partitions or virtualization? and why? I have 5 partitions, 1.5 TB hard drive space Tri-boot is cool but it is difficult to share the files among the OSes, maybe the best configuration is to use Windows as main OS (for tv card driver and the overclock utility) and to keep Linux and Mac virtualized. I don't have problems sharing files: just use FAT32. The only real limit are files over 4GB, which normally are DVD isos and can be burnt in any modern OS. Besides Linux and OS X can read NTFS. They can also write to it, of course, but as you said, it is better not to do it too often. I find virtualization very frustrating, I hardly ever use it. But I am going to try "XP Mode" for Windows 7. I see that for my hardware Mac OS X is the best OS, but Linux is fun and free, and the best drivers and games are for Windows. I partly agree, but I am really enjoying Windows 7, the most advanced OS I have ever tried (only major problem, sleep doesn't work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro17 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 What do u like of Win7? Difficult to say in a few words Maybe I did a better job here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=164354 I suppose it isn't optimized for games yet, and not everything is working 100% yet. I can't get "Sleep" to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
