[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 139067, member: 5184"] A DMG file actually is a disk image, which is different than a ZIP file. As you stated, when you open a DMG, it opens something like a virtual drive, and mostly behaves as such. A ZIP file is only a compressed file. As for Linux, I have no idea if it can open a DMG. If yes, you have to mount it, just like a drive. That's what OS X does with DMGs. [/QUOTE]
