Make sure your connection is bridged on your VM Host. Im stuck in your situation having to use Windows to connect my company's VPN. Im on Fedora with running Windows inside Virtual box. Hope this helps. Cheers! Maybe it’s too late…

Wow, thanks for the info! So are you still using hfsplus to share between Linux and OS X or have you switched to ext3? Hey @StN. Wow, thanks for the info!

The only thing: The actual hfsplus kernel driver does ignore mounting by group id and user id. That is extremely stupid, because while osx uses 1000, debian has 500 by default, so files written under one system aren't deleteable under the other (except for linux root). One solution would be to set the user/root id in osx to 500, too, but this could lead to serious troubles with some installations, as google told me. The best solution would be to mount the hfsplus partition in debian setting the guid and uid, which should work, but simply doesn't. See: http://falsepositive.eu/archives/20080307-hfsplus-UIDGID-remapping/21 There is a patch for that: http://lkml.org/lkml/fancy/2007/6/20/364 ..but I have no idea how to apply that to actual kernels.

Actually, we've had 3 Palm Pres for the last 7 months and haven't had any problems with cracked screens. Oh, and I pay $7 per month for Sprint's total equipment protection plan, and am very pleased with their service.

It's not covered under warranty unless you get some extended warranty which exceeds the cost of the phone. Surf the net and see for yourself. Mine cracked and BELL wants me to pay for another phone.
