I've used VMWare. Its very good (and had no problems with it yet). <br><br>But you can also try VirtualBox (<a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/">http://www.virtualbox.org/</a>). Its new, and I couldn't load Fedora 6 in it while I could in VMWare) but open source so hopefully some new developers will jump in and make it better.
