As for comments on VMWare, it isn't free software and you need a licence key. Some purists don't like the fact that it isn't free. I never tested it, but I hear it is a great emulator. Plex86, the free software counter-part, is still under development. So it is really young and probably has less funcionalities. I don't know any other options.
You may also want to try qemu (LGPL) and the acceleration kernel module kqemu, which makes qemu quite competetive with vmware (but is sadly not open-source).
