On Mac and windows it runs at least one kernel in virtualbox. I believe you'll be better served running your own virtual box configured with a full desktop linux distro on top of MacOS and then use it's package manager. In general my experience is that my Mac Mini is great for times when I need to provide my parents techsupport and for using my outdated scanner that has no linux or windows 8.1 drivers. I also use it on another monitor to watch netflix which annoyingly still does not work on linux with out hacks and takes needless cycles on linux. My MacOS survival guide: 1. MacOS is an operating system for the General Public even more so than Windows which bridges over business, and tech. 2. Mac is good for some stuff and is worth keeping actively running with a multi core processor, so keep it around, but 3. *Install VB and a Linux distro and be happy, if you don't have another machine handy next to it.* 4. Do not try to get buy with any of the aggravating MacOS oss distros. You will just be annoyed. Suplement the linux distro as you please. 5. Use docker in the linux distro to manage services you want to keep separate from each other. 6. Consider using vagrant for managing development environments. I'm a computer enthusiast and really enjoy following MacOS, and Windows along with Linux. I don't mean to malign mac. Also for things like XCode keep in mind that Mac is trying hard to drive demand and development for their latest systems! Check out the specs on the newest cores in Macbook pros. They dust my little ol' mini. Cheers, John Hall Web Application Developer http://openelevate.com/jlhall/resume.html
