Hello all, and diving right in I'm a complete beginner with OpenFOAM and really looking forward to working with it.

I'm interested if there are any drawbacks to installing OF on Mac 10.6.8 rather than installing Ubuntu on my macbook pro and running OpenFOAM on the Linux partition.

I'm also assuming a machine backup would be in order before starting.

Are there any other considerations you recommend?

Thanks for all your help. This is going to be fun!
