I am looking at buying a Macbook to replace my 17" Powerbook so that I can run Parallels with XP and also run Linux. Any ideas on the ideal setup in terms of partitioning of disk space and virtual environments? Ideally, one would be able to use the XP, Linux and Mac OS X partitions both to boot and also as virtual environments under OS X.

Why is it so bad under Parallels?

I am looking at buying a Macbook to replace my 17″ Powerbook so that I can run Parallels with XP and also run Linux.

Any ideas on the ideal setup in terms of partitioning of disk space and virtual environments?

Ideally, one would be able to use the XP, Linux and Mac OS X partitions both to boot and also as virtual environments under OS X.

You even get automatic mouse switching from OS to OS which is nice.. only downside is some weird jerkiness with the mouse in Ubuntu.. Once VMWare Tools is installed, by the way, it’s amazing.

I did some searching and found several other people had the same issue and they recommended that fix. Of course, if you don't need it, it's all good :) It booted but no graphics.
