I can't think of any common annoyances. I come from the Linux desktop world, so having a GUI that works right is great. It was hard to get used to the close in the top left and drag in the bottom right only at first but I don't even notice that anymore.
Under the hood it is Unix, includes Python and wxPython by default, Xcode is free and an awesome development environment so I can do as much and more than I can with a Linux box.
If you need to run Ubuntu, just do it in Parallels, otherwise your annoyance is going to be having to reboot into OSX.
- cpr 17y agoDitto, but I can't recommend Fusion enough. Tried Parallels, and had too many problems.
- JeremyChase 17y agoVirtualBox is very polished virtualization software released under GPL. I have run this on my MPB for a year with Debian, and XP as clients. It runs great. http://www.virtualbox.org/ http://www.virtualbox.org/
- mediaman 17y agoI recommend VirtualBox as well. I haven't used Fusion but have used Parallels, and VirtualBox has become my default VM. Being free and GPL doesn't hurt at all.
- ttam 17y agoLike other have said before, both Fusion and VirtualBox are great. Fusion is awesome if you need to work in windows since it can use your bootcamp partition. VirtualBox is a very good alternative and open source which is always a plus.
