Hi Guys does anyone have a ''working'' macosx vmware instance ? i.e. you have the networking working ok so you can use ichat. would love to use macosx and textmate for RoR development but I dont fancy parting with > $US1,500 for a new Mac that is half the speed, one quarter the RAM and a fraction of the HD of my current PC. regards damian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m sorry to say that I don''t think this can legally be done, even if you pay for a license of Mac OS X. I''m pretty sure the license agreement doesn''t allow it. But since you asked, the only VMWare version I have ever seen was Tiger, and it was so slow that you couldn''t call it ''working'' even though the networking did function. Sorry I can''t help more. There are lot''s of plugins for other text editors that make them ''textmate-like''. If that isn''t good enough, then I suggest you keep your eyes on craigslist for a used mac.

Hi! Damian Hamill schrieb:> Hi Guys > > does anyone have a ''working'' macosx vmware instance ? i.e. you have >I m sure "someone" has, but not me :-) Aside from legal issues and whatnot, and that you are in the wrong forum, I would suggest buying an ebay Intel Mac Mini. Is what I did and it allows me to use OSX as I need it, and maintain some expertise on it for servicing customer´s macs in mixed networks, and poke around on Xcode, RoR and the like without messing up my Windows development VMs. Regards --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi, if you''re on Windows, I recommend taking a look at the following: e-texteditor.com Good luck, -Conrad On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM, Damian Hamill <damianham-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hi Guys > > does anyone have a ''working'' macosx vmware instance ? i.e. you have > the networking working ok so you can use ichat. > > would love to use macosx and textmate for RoR development but I dont > fancy parting with > $US1,500 for a new Mac that is half the speed, > one quarter the RAM and a fraction of the HD of my current PC. > > regards > damian > > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Only MacOS X Server can be virtualized on Mac servers IIRC, everything else is just plainly illegal.> But since you asked, the only VMWare version I have ever seen was > Tiger, and it was so slow that you couldn''t call it ''working'' even > though the networking did function.It''s bound to be slow, every desktop OS within a virtual machine is bound to be a lot slower than the real thing (bridging of graphics, network, …). There are hackintosh macos x images floating around, but from what I''ve heard, they work... kinda... sometimes... if you''re lucky. It seems that just putting expensive components in a box full of noisy fans doesn''t cut it for running OS X.> Sorry I can''t help more.
