I've been using VMware Fusion for the Mac. It really works well. The latest version v3.0.1 can import VMware machines created in other vm systems like parallels.  

But here's the thing, compilation on 32-bit Linux OS is very very slow. If someone can get the gumstix oe build environment up and running for a 64-bit build environment, that would run nearly 4-times faster, than the 32-bit version. Disk I/O is very high for the 64-bit versions.

Has anyone managed to get gumstix oe build environment working on a 64-bit version of linux so far?

Best regards,
