From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I was under the impression that the barrier for the friend's modern mac being unable to read the drive was due to the lack of hardware interface. Is there a greater barrier than that for the data?
If the data itself needs to be converted, consider looking for tools that can function from inside the VM (so none of the original data is lost before translation).
oh no, sorry, we have external CDroms. its the file names themselves. not the data within.
