Heh, heh, heh...  :)


Uh, go with virtualbox.

There are two versions, the open source and the closed source.  The
closed source is free to use for personal use, but not "Debian Free".

Xen works, but requires a commitment from you.  More Work.  In the early
stages.

VMWare has a fair one.  The virtual server version is free as in beer,
with limitations.  The full version, and the extras cost money.  They
offer support.  Not free.  All closed source.

QEMU can do a lot.  I'm not too familiar with it.

For DOS programs, try DOSbox.

What did I forget?[0]

Go with virtualbox.  It is pretty easy to use and setup, easier I think
than VirtualPC.  There is a Linux edition and a Windows edition, both in
version 32-bit for 32-bit guests, and 64-bit for 32 and 64-bit guests.

Try Xen later.
