Hello,

I have a Macbook, and I want to install Linux Fedora 7. According to the last PDF Parallels guide, last version supports Fedora 7. I've installed Parallels v3.0.5160, but the problem is the following: in the list of OS Versions for Linux OS type, it doesn't appear "Fedora". Should I choose "Fedora Core"? Or "Other Linux"?

Thanks in advance.

It's not all that important, but you could indeed choose "Fedora Core": mainly, probably, the various options allocate the right memory for the VM, above all.

For Fedora, you should have at least 256 MB for the virtual machine: but 512 MB is maybe better, at least during the install.

Tha main problem with Parallels, sofar, is that its Linux virtual machine additions - see subsequent X11 problems, etc. - aren't as compatible as they should be: maybe it would be better to wait for a future update, on this front...
