I remember a discussion about this a while back can't remember the
outcome...

I've now got a more powerful machine that should be capable of
virtualisation so I can try out different distros (i.e. Arch/Gentoo) without
actually installing them and partitioning my drive.

What do you recommend I use?

VMWare - proprietary and closed source so I won't be going there.

VirtualBox - open source version doesn't have USB support.

KVM - supposedly ideal for running on Ubuntu but the support pages say:

"If you are looking for software to serve graphically-based virtual
machines, VirtualBox <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox>,
Parallels Workstation (or Parallels Desktop for Mac), or VMware
Player/Server are more suitable alternatives."

Any thoughts?
