Hi All, If you would please suffer a Fedora Code 13 question on a CentOS mailing list, I have a Linux customer with Fedora Code 13 who loves it but is about to dump it because he really, really wants iTunes. (He owns an iPod and an iPhone.) None of the Linux utilities quite work right and he wants to buy music from the iTunes store as well. Plus he wants to synchronize his contacts list. So, I was thinking of installing an XP VM on his computer. Would iTunes work properly? Would you use KVM or Virtual Box? Any words of wisdom shared would be appreciated. Many thanks, -T
Ealier was possible run iTunes in Linux using Wine. Actually I really don't know if it still works, because a lot things have changed since 2007 (was the last time I'd installed iTunes in Linux). BTW you can install VMware Workstation or Player to run Windows XP/Seven/Whattever and do what you want. I guess VirtualBox OSE have no USB support, so you will need to buy a licence to VirtualBox or VMware. I don't know if KVM supports USB too. 2011/2/12 MargoAndTodd <margoandtodd at gmail.com>> Hi All, > > If you would please suffer a Fedora Code 13 question on a CentOS mailing > list, I > have a Linux customer with Fedora Code 13 who loves it but is about to dump > it because he really, really wants iTunes.
