I'm not sure what you mean by the generic term "virtualization".  Is 
your linux virtualized under some other system, or do you want to run 
other systems under your Linux?

In general, if you have a running system, you can install whatever 
packages you need in order to run what you want to.  Only 1 of my 3 home 
Linux systems is capable of running virtual machines (its my laptop, my 
"servers" are too old and slow to run virtual machines under Linux, one 
of them is a K6-2 500, which is a i586 machine).  So, my laptop runs 
Windows XP Pro using VMWare under Linux.

If you are able to install a Linux system, you can add whatever RPMs you 
need to run what you need.  The line between "desktop" and "server" 
blurs once you start installing more packages (or even whole package 
groups).

Work on getting a working system first.  Then worry about what you can 
add to it.
