So, after an incredibly brief foray with Parallels Desktop 4.0, I am fleeing back into the gracing comforts of VMware and Virtualbox.

From my brief experience in dealing both with Parallels partnership through the Canonical store, and the actual software itself, I am not impressed by the company or it’s user experience.  Buggy.  Difficult to install.  Hard to download.  In comparison to VMware/Virtualbox, that is.

On the ERP front, I have finally managed to get Oracle10g and IQ installed.  Needed a database schema to fire it up, and just received that this evening around 4:00.  We’ll have to see how it goes on Monday when I try to import the Schema and log in.  Wahoo! Progress!

I’m going to go back to Virtualbox now, and try to get this WinXP image going.  Then it’s into my stockpile of Lo-Carb Monster, and plowing through a text on DNS and BIND (my next area of linuxification at work – a subject which I may chart out in future bloggery).
