But you could easily run Linux under Virtualbox or vmware. While still running OS X.

I thought VMware (maybe virtualbox too) had a built-in way to share files from
the host. In any case you can do network samba/nfs shares that the VM's can see
just like you would if they were physical machines or on a different host.
