I use Parallels and I like it.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

I used Parallels when it first came out. When I had my major HD crash last year (or 18 months ago...whenever), the tech guy asked did I have a dual boot machine. I said yes. He asked, had I been doing a lot of virtual machine stuff. Ya, with dual screen, it works great. He mentioned he had seen an increase in HD failures since Parallels came out. Anecdotal evidence? Actual cause/effect? I dunno. I haven't reinstalled it since. I'll do the dual boot, if I need to play in windows.

Anyone use git? Actually, this may be more of a generic unix question. I installed git on my shared server using the instructions here. Namely,
cd ~/ test -d ~/src || mkdir ~/src cd ~/src curl -O [link] tar -xvzf git-1.6.3.1.tar.gz cd git-1.6.3.1 ./configure --prefix=$HOME make make install echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
It all seemed to run fine -- no errors. But when type "git" on the shell command prompt, I get the response "git: command not found". This happens even if I'm in the bin folder where I can clearly see that there's an executable (755) file called "git". What am I missing?

Try /usr/local/bin/git

The equivalent of that on my server is
/hsphere/local/home/wobbly/bin/gitand that DID work!
Now what?

You need to edit your .profile and add /usr/local/bin to your PATH.

Where would the .profile be? It's not in my home directory.

Create a .profile in your home directory containing the line
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
