Another lot of people who don't know the difference between specifying 
requirements and specifying implementation.

I have Oracle Virtual Box running on an Intel Mac, which hosts my Virtual 
guests. Maybe Virtual Box can host Intel Linux for you, but as someone 
else says, it may be slow.

If you're desperate, you have bash on Mac.

Don't upgrade a working machine - it won't work any
better - it could work worse; it may not work at all.
