I am getting a MacBook Pro and I am wanting to use PC programs on it aswell. Thats the reason for me wanting to get VMWare Fusion to allow me to use PC software on my mac.
However Im learning about Linux which is another Operating system, but do you have to use Fusion in order for me to use Linux.
This is the way im currently understanding:
-My mac uses OSX
-In order for me to use PC SOftware, im going to have to use a virtual machine (FUsion) and then install Windows XP/Vista allowing me to use PC Software
-(If im correct up to this point, this where i get a bit confused) In order for me to use Linux I have to do the same create another Virtual machine and then use that to run Linux??? If this is the case then why cant you run linux of a Live CD or USB stick???
Is Linux an operating system just like Windows XP/Vista???
Clarification would be most appreciated!
