I don't work for GemStone, but I expect it will run on whatever host OS is supported by VMWare so long as your cpu is 64 bit capable, which is most of new ones anyway. With fusion coming out, I don't see Mac OS X being left out of the picture for long.
Cheers!

Hi Boris, what host OS does one use for GemStone's Seaside VM if using VMware Player? I ask this question because there's no direct support for Mac OS X.

Not quite still. VMware Player is free and users don't need to install Ubuntu themselves, they could download GemStone's Seaside VM with everything included and configured, which as a matter of fact may be easier than installing and setting up VisualWorks from scratch for instance. All dialects deserve a mention and quick start sections IMHO.
Cheers!

Hi Monty, you're correct but the goal of the book is Seaside. Next,
VMWare isn't free and I would not expect my customers to purchase
VMWare, install Ubuntu, and finally install a Smalltalk environment
and Seaside packages. I prefer one to focus on installing the
Smalltalk environment and the Seaside package(s). Monty, just because
I can use VMWare doesn't mean that it's necessary or needed for
learning Seaside. In short, the book should be focused on learning
Seaside in the native development environment whether it be
VisualWorks, Dolphin, and Squeak environments. Now, if my deployable
image is VisualWorks or Dolphin, how would installing VMWare satisfy
these users?
