This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Server 2 on a Mandriva 2009.0 desktop system. With VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems (virtual machines) such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system that has the VMware Player which is also free).

Well, I've tried both, and on Slackware VMware seems to work better (at least for me). This is Server 1.6. I haven't tried upgrading to 2.0 yet. I couldn't even get the Virtual Box to boot from floppy or DVD. I always had to boot from an iso file. When you add in the lack of USB support in the OSE version, I decided to stick with VMware.
My headless VMs are running in qemu.
I had nothing but trouble with VMware when I was using it.
It had a nasty tendency to break when I updated the machine and be pretty much unfixable.
For plain old emulation on the desktop, I either use qemu or VirtualBox.
I haven't tried VirtualBox in headless mode yet....
