I get this when installing Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition:

Uh-oh. Any ideas?

I believe that server support on parallels is only available in beta right now.

Ubuntu Server v8 works in Fusion though.

I was just gonna say, VMware not only does this, but has a pre-installed appliance image ready to download. Much better than Parallels.

exactly, fusion is netter, and guess what, cheaper too, haha

@chaosrob: Are you sure it’s the server version, and not the desktop variety? I might have to check that out.

@richardhenry I do believe they’re both available. I know the server is because I used one as a testbed for a web app I worked on a few weeks ago.

@richard @chaos

Server is supported. They are third party but they are great. I use Chrysaor’s, but there are others too.

VirtualBox is free and can run Turnkey Linux apps. Watch the video to find out how easy it is to start your own web server.

Hope this helps.
