This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install VMware Server 2 on an Ubuntu 9.04 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).

Bridged networking on VirtualBox just works, it used to be a horrid little pavane of making sure the vbox user had all the right permissions, I just noticed the other day that I could switch all my VMs to Bridged, which means they are all on the same networkas my physical machine.
Does vbox automagically create new tun/tap interfaces on your bridged nic for you now or do you still have to create them manually? Qemu/KVM use the tun/tap bridges as well, so adding a new interface on my server is just a matter of adding defining a new one in the network config and restarting the network.
Automagically, at least on my Ubuntu rig. I just thought I'd give bridged networking a try, and it worked, no mess, no fuss.
