FWIW, UML (user-mode linux) should also be useful here. And it's
available as a Debian package ;-)
Both VMWare and UML are restricted to specific hardware sets though. So
while they're useful for developing startup scripts, there are
limitations to how much testing can be done in the sandbox.
Peace.
