Penguin in my Mac

Driven by an increasing amount of security paranoia and a post at readwriteweb about Moblin, I decided to install a net savvy Linux on my MBP via Parallels. The idea is to snapshot a nice clean install, browse where ever and however I like, and go back to the snapshot should I get paranoiod about what I might have picked up whilst browsing.

The first hurldle was the fact Moblin didn't like the Parallels 4 VM. More's the pity because it looks really good and a quick Google to try and troubleshoot the problem seems to indicate some people have been sucessful getting it to run inside Parallels.

Not to be deterred, I settled for gOS. This is a nice clean Ubuntu with a handful of moderately useful/less gadgets on the desktop. To try and achieve what Moblin seems to offer I've restorted to iGoogle.
The first challenge to be overcome is a unified clipboard between OS X and the VM. I could attempt Synergy if all else fails, but hopefully there's some other slighty more elegant solution.

Given the huge drive towards the cloud, twitter and the like, it will be nice to see some more net savvy OSs come out. OS X is fantastic of course, but I'm looking to really embrace the cloud in a single unified view.
