I second the emotion on VBox, its a nice piece of work.
Read the license carefully, however. Its no longer free for use as a server in a business environment, only free for 'personal' use. Larry needs a new boat.
They also clarify that 'personal' use can include in a business environment, if you're just installing on a system here and there and not doing a mass rollout on multiple machines. But that's from their website. Haven't read the full license to see how closely their informal synopsis matches the lawyereese.
what I read said personal use in a business environment meant the VM isn't a server accessed by anyone else. I can run vbox on my office desktop and host a VM for my own use. I can't, however, host a webserver VM that my department uses.
but IANAL.
