For testing purposes I've used Suns VirtualBox under Windows, it runs 
under Linux as well. (Free)BSD installs well and it can give you a first 
impression on how it works. There are some settings that you must keep 
in mind, disk size can't be dynamic. You can use the VirtualBox forums 
for more information.
