Great choices all around, Ubuntu is my favorite Linux distro and VMware Fusion has been a cornerstone of my Mac experience for many years and does a great job installing and running just about every flavor of Linux (and Windows too). Even better, you can grab a free ISO disk image of Ubuntu directly from their Web site and once you’ve grabbed the 1.5GB file, it’s rather astonishingly easy to go from download to running Ubuntu installation! It has embodied the revolution of digital DJing since 1996, and has helped propel todays superstar DJs from their very first bedroom mixes to crowded stadiums.
