VirtualBox is Open Source and runs on Linux hosts, so I would recommend
this.
Creating an OS that can be used is a matter of creating a disk image.
One approach is to install ubuntu on the virtual machine, then install
the additional tools, and share the resulting virtual disk.

Why VMware? There are free alternatives, like MS Virtual PC, Sun VirtualBox.
Never heard of them, but then again, I haven't looked at
virtualization since about 10 years ago (when I was trying to run
the old Ultima computer games on Linux).
If you're familiar with these, which would you recommend? And can
we create the OS and run the OS with the free versions?
