VirtualBox was mentioned by Ted for creating a virtual machine in 
conjunction with his presentation on his Photo Album Manager. There is 
an article in the current Linux Journal on VirtualBox:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9941

One has to login to read the article.

Here are some caveats mentioned by the author:

   1.

      No RDP support—you cannot connect to VirtualBox virtual machines
      from a remote location.

   2.

      No USB support—USB devices won't work in the virtual machine.

   3.

      No USB-over-RDP support (I guess that makes sense given the first
      two limitations).

   4.

      No shared folders—you will not be able to share data between the
      host and guest machines.

   5.

      No iSCSI initiator—SCSI disks cannot be used as virtual disks.

Thanks again to Ted for an excellent and informative presentation.
