is ubuntu + sugar running w/in a parallels virtual machine a validtest environment for olpc QA?

[askok at dnainternet.net]

As far as I know, Parallels is just a PC like any other. 
 All will work.

The only problems I've faced myself, but that was with 
Virtual PC (on PowerPC Mac) and PocketPC development, 
where the PocketPC emulator refused to run (and there 
Microsoft explicitly had code preventing that :(    In 
your system, go right ahead.

And, btw, your Mac _is_ an Intel box... ;)
