Friday iFAQ: Fusion
Every Friday we publish a list of inFrequently Asked Questions and
answers to help you, the Crazy Apple user, get more out of your Crazy
Apple products.
This week: The virtualizer that generates less radioactive waste than fission: Fusion!
Q: That was not good. Your intro was hard to understand and I wasn’t able to understand it easily.
A: C’mon, it was great.
Q: I want to run Linux.
A: Really.
Q: Yes. And I want to run Linux in a virtual machine. On my Mac.
A: Do you.
Q: Yes.
A: Why?
Q: Because Linux is true and faithful and strong. Linux is a great operating system that has power and strength. And I have need of it.
A: Do you need a guide?
Q: I have seen many summers, on the plains. I have much experience that will aid those of fewer summers.
A: But to compute well and true and faithfully requires more.
Q: Yes. I will have need of your services if I am to install Linux. I have not yet done that, and I will need to. You must help me.
A: I will assist you.
Q: That is good. And once I have installed Linux, then I will help you work on your Hemingway impression. It is not enough to use short, repetitive sentences. To truly imitate Hem is a great quest, dangerous and prone to fall in to clichés. When a post falls into a cliché it can’t climb back out by itself, and it takes many strong men to pull it back to the surface. I have seen strong men weep when they have lost a post in the morass.
A: Hem once shot himself in both legs while firing a machine gun at a shark in Bimini.
Q: What does that have to do with Linux and posts?
A: Nothing.
Q: Then let us embark on our quest. What must I do to procure the Linux?
A: Seek it on the internets. You will find it in ISOs on many sites. You must look deep and far and wide.
Q: I have found them on Google. I will use the one with the Lizard.
A: The Lizard will serve you well. Go then, and download the ISO. Fusion itself will now be your guide.
Q: Thank you. I will remember you. And I will remember my promise to teach you the ways of imitating Hemingway.
I actually installed Linux on a windows (with win98) machine. Partitioned the hard drive and everything. Then I switched to a Mac.
It’s Hemingway or the highway.
Funny, I kind of expected this FAQ to be about Fusion. Go figure.
