Okay – I took the plunge today to upgrade my box to 10.5.5 from 10.5.4. Using the directions that I’ve posted about before, I was able to successfully upgrade with only a couple of gotchas.
Standardizing on one VM platform has made my life so much easier. I’ve played with a number of them 
and I’ve settled on VMWare. Currently, I have an Ubuntu Server running VMWare in my basement and I have a number of client machines that have VMWare client software running as well. Recently I’ve noticed a deficiency when I move my main computing platform to Mac OSX — there is no VMWare Server Console software.
This software is very valuable if you are running multiple VMs on a VMware server. Instead of configuring a remote control or SSH server on each client VM, you can control the VMs via the VMWare Server Console. When my main computing platform was Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon, this was a no-brainer. The software is bundled with the Linux client package. Running Gusty Gibbon on my primary PC was amazing because I could not only control another VMWare Server, the workstation had multiple client OS’s installed locally so I could have a dozen machines running on two physical pieces of hardware. But then I made the switch….
In my previous article I mentioned all the hardware pieces I used to put together my Hackintosh. In this article I’ll detailed how I went about the software side.
I love Macs. I have 3 Macbooks, 1 Macbook Pro, and 2 iMacs in the house. Of course, all of them are being used by the rest of the family. My workhorse is a PC running Ubuntu/XP Pro — Until now… That’s right, I built a HACKINTOSH!
