Apologies. Deepest even.

Before anyone needs to chastise me I looked it up and OS X is more Next and other sources than Linux per se.

Apparently Parallels on OS X will run Win and Lin, but the underlying OS is OS X and does not imply that ArcGIS would be stably emulated by a Linux machine emulating Win.

Sorry.

Hope not to have too terribly offended in my ignorance.
