There's to many ways to make a complete list here with instructions, but I personally use VirtualBox[1]. It's relatively easy to setup and the performance is pretty good on modern hardware. They have a yum repository to make installation[2] and updates easy. The link is for version 3.2 but just replace "3.2" in the install instructions with "4.0" to get the latest released version. I haven't installed on a clean system for a while so I assume it pulls in kernel-headers and kernel-devel when you install. If not you'll need to install those packages as well. It needs them to build the kernel module.
