Good Virtualization Software


Recommended Posts

I am currently in the process of setting up a new PC running PCLinuxOS 2007 on which I need to run Windows Vista/Server 2003/2008 in virtualized form for development purposes.

One of the virtualization software I was looking at was Virtualbox which I've seen mentioned in several forums, having only previously used MS Virtual PC 2007, what is Virtualbox like, or are their better free alternatives? Currently I don't need support for USB or dual monitors, although both would be nice so I'm not currently looking at VMWare (perhaps down the line).

I'm running this on a fairly powerful machine, Quad Core2@2.4Ghz with 4GB RAM.

Thanks in advance, AStaley.

About user friendlyness, vmware server (free but not free software) is the best. Then come VirtualBox (free and free software). After that fedora/red hat virt manager, xephir+xen, xephir+kvm, qemu, botch and few other.
