The others have recommended VirtualBox, but an alternative suggestion: install libvirt-bin and virt-manager. The former is a management interface for KVM/Xen/LXC and a few others, and handles the logic of setting up the virtualisation for you. The latter is a GUI front-end for libvirt. Using it is much like using VirtualBox. Not quite as polished, but VirtualBox isn't as nice to use on a headless machine either. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
