Agree completely on VirtualBox. I'm currently trying to get it to combine
several boxes into one for me. The networking's a bit tricky (as a default
only basic NAT i.e. email and web) is supported but I've found it fast,
stable and very well documented. I've installed it on Ubuntu, FC8 and
Windows XP without a problem.
