Interesting, I have never heard of VirtualBox. What made you chose that over vmware? How do you like the performance?

Thanks for the tips.

Type faster.  Use Dvorak:

A while ago there was a virtualization discussion going on here and several products were listed, one of which was VirtualBox. I have both VMWare and VirtualBox working, the former with a 6GB file and VirtualBox pointing to my XP partition. VirtualBox is still very full featured but not quite a tweakble as VMWare but seems to run a little faster. They're both good products.

Even though they are both "free" I don't like having to mess with a serial # for VMWare, also the setup for VirtualBox is simpler, although both require you to compile a kernel module. (At least for Fedora, you can probably get prebuilt modules for RHEL/CentOS).
