Playing with Parallels

I’ve been playing with Parallels on my Intel Mac at home. Overall I’m impressed – I managed to get both Windows XP and Ubuntu Edgy set up without too much bother. For Ubuntu I followed these instructions from the Muffin Research Labs (great name too!). For XP I had a bit of a hiccup. I was installing from a Home Edition CD which includes SP2. I found that the install froze at the “Installing Devices – 33 minutes left” stage. However, by simply stopping and restarted the VM it finished off the install no problem. Looks like this has hit one or two others.
