VMWARE is a program that emulates another machine on your computer. It actually is really cool and runs good. I used to run VMWARE with Linux as the host and with Windows 2000 as sub operating system. It worked great. You can pretty much run any OS inside a VMWARE virtual machine.

Yeah, I had a guy down the hall emulating Linux in a Windows environment...but I'm thinking that you'll need some pretty good resources. (He had dual PIII 733's with 512 of RAM I think). I'd run it if I ever had to do anything like that.
