Parallels 3 & Linux

Has anyone successfully installed either Fedora or Ubuntu?
Tried Both, Fedora completely installs then on reboot it goes into a kernel panic. Ubunto doesn't install at all and I get some video corruption in the VM.

SuSE

Nope, but I have tried to implement openSuSE 10.2. Installation is fine, but I have so far failed to make it work with proper graphics settings. I get extremely poor resolution, mainly (I understand) due to problems with ATI drivers not supported on open systems. Tweaking xorg.conf has so far failed to solve the problem.

Parallels isn't very good with Linux. They mainly focus on Windows support. Try VMWare instead.
