    Hi guys, A while back, I found some Star Trek folder icons on a website - I think it was IconFactory. To my dismay, the icons are formatted as though they're folders. This limits their utility to OS X. I'd like to be able to use the icons on Linux, but I can't because they're formatted as...

    Any Linux with VirtualPC7/Leopard ?

    This idea drives me nuts! - To run a slick Linux-Distro within VirtualPC7 which is also able to run a Dropbox-Client or even Netflix. I did not succeed with AntiX and Debian7 'cause the damn Cursor didn't work within the VM. Read about someone getting Mandrake10 to run within VirtualPC7 but...
