In times of financial crisis, bankers have not only need money, but also ordinary people. Comparison shopping sites have been established and it is not surprising that the saving is also a topic in the blogosphere.
But because of the record, Action of 6 free issues of the ct I'm on the saving blog became aware that focused mainly on technical matters.
So you can connect two pleasant things: Read the blog and savings.
As previously reported I was disappointed Parrallels 3 hard and soft had to VirtualBox as the virtualization solution. What you should consider when installing, I would like to resubmit short at this point.
The first thing you should to install Kubuntu a current ISO image from the download section to download.
Then you create a new virtual machine under VirtualBox and indicates the download dialog cdrom in Kubuntu image. In the audio dialogue should necessarily choose Core Audio, as otherwise the speakers remain silent. Otherwise, I've done with the settings in the screenshot visible good experience.
After starting the virtual machine (VM) is running as normal by the installation routine of Kubuntu. If one is finished, you can locate your ISO file be removed from the cdrom set the virtual machine.
To change the screen resolution and a better mouse control can be to have to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions. If you select this menu item from the Device menu, you can then integrate over the menu CD / DVD-ROM devices, the ISO image VBoxGuestAdditions.iso.
Another prerequisite is the Kubuntu package build-essential. This is most easily installed from the command line (terminal) within the VM using apt.
sudo apt-get install build-essential Can you make all the preparations are the same command line to open the CD to mount and run the installation script as root (administrator) privileges. After the virtual machine should be started.
media / cdrom0 sudo mount / media / cdrom0 media / cdrom cd / media / cdrom VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run sudo. / VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
What then remains is to make Kubuntu multimedia capability, that is:
VirtualBox also offers the possibility of shared folders. Installation is a bit tricky [4] but in my view totally unnecessary because there is a better alternative and that the network folder that you can build up over ssh (secure connection) of Kubuntu to Mac.
The only prerequisite is an ssh server on the Mac, but is included in MacOS Leopard and System Preferences> Sharing> Remote Login is enabled. Once done, you can add in the file manager in Kubuntu (Dolphin) in the network the network folder. As you type must then secure shell (ssh) and then specify the IP address of the Mac yet, Benuterzname and password, and the path to the home directory (or any other folder).
Done!
Conclusion: How much more difficult to install a VM under VirtualBox than under Parallels, I can not say. But the fact is, that fits to a free operating system, a free virtualization solution much better.
Or what do you think?

This dialogue from Monty Python from the movie "Life of Brian" Everyone knows that black English humor mag. So it is not surprising that on youtube have to find several film clips of comedians in a more or less good quality.
Now, Monty Python had picked himself up and has its own channel on youtube set up on the good in Qulität some highlights (such as stoning or the duel to see from the Knights of the coconut) are. All for free, even if the gentlemen ask with a twinkle in his eye (see following video) about, but to buy their films.

No - or at least I have not found the way in which it runs.
The problem is this. The installation runs smoothly so that you will be thrown only when they first log into the cold water. Once KDE4 tries to start, the shaky video mode and starts the X server. The KDE window manager kdm gets into an endless boot-boot-crash-crash loop [1]. That's to be considered with the first few times of fun, but very quickly loses entertainment value and there remains nothing but frustration.
How good that Parallels has just released the new version 4, but this can be paid at 40 €. Now it is so that I swear by my Mac purchase I did not want to annoy more than software. So I made then 70 € for Parallels Desktop loose, although at this time virtualization for Windows and Linux was already free.
So I see there is not one to pay for the update. What remains as a solution is to install Ubuntu 8.10. With Gnome desktop as I can arrange just about, but the Gnome counterparts for file, text and music management, image processing, unfortunately does not have the same functionality as the on KDE. When then do not install the Parallels Tools were, had to be a radical solution.
So Parallels and out Virtualbox pure. And what can I say. It rocks.
Conclusion: Sometimes you have to pull the financial handbrake. In this case also spared the nerves.

If you want to can the graphical output of a Unix or Linux program on a remote Unix computer display, one makes use of almost all Unix / Linux derivatives available X Window System (also known as X11). This is needed on the remote Unix machine called an X server that offers its services to the graphical program (X client) (see wikipedia ).
This works for Unix <-> Unix Kommuniktation very well. But on Windows machines by default, there are no X Window server. This gap is filled Xming , on the Cygwin / X -based (but independent of its installation) X Window server for Microsoft Windows (XP/2003/Vista). So you can pick one or the graphic output, several Unix programs on their Windows screen. The programs can be in separate windows or even a main window will appear.Xming has both a graphical installation routine, and a graphical interface setting (Xlaunch).
Xming is installed only needs to be redirected to the Unix computer the DISPLAY.
IP Adresse des Windows Rechners > : 0 DISPLAY = <IP address of the Windows calculator>: 0 export DISPLAY
and then run the Unix program (eg xclock). If this error " Can't open display occur, "it is probably because by default with Access Control Xming is started. The fact that you can park in Xlaunch.
Conclusion: Xming is a very slender X Window Server for Microsoft operating systems, with which one has the opportunity to get to the programs on a remote Unix / Linux computers to their Windows screen.
Here are a few quick screen shots:
