Many people run mutlple operating systems on Macs. There is a way to run two operating systems at teh same time, one OS for one program and a 2nd OS for another program. Mac OS and Linux flavors play well together. I am not in that world so I have no specifics to offer. Seems like you could do it this way. Dia is not a terrible resource hog so the the performance may be quite good.
