[K12OSN] Software virtualization...opensource way?

[luis.montes at cox.net]

You might want to take a look at vmware player and vmware server(formerly GSX).
They have both been recently made free(beer not speech).

Also if you're willing to spend a few bucks, you might want to look at vmware workstation as well.
