I was thinking of mentioning Virtual Box. It comes in both a fully open 
source as well as a commercialized distribution. The commercial version 
has a small number of extra features and i think is free (as in beer) 
for home users. I'm using it at home and it seems almost identical to 
VMWare Workstation. I also have a VMWare WS license, but i don't think 
i'll be using it anymore since Virtual Box works just as well for my 
needs and is more open. I also like Virtual Box' documentation better 
than VMWare's.

Also, i noticed not long ago that the open source version was added to 
the Debian unstable repository. So if you run Debian and don't need the 
extra features in the commercial version, it is just an apt-get away.

Sorry; i don't mean to sound like a paid advertisement, but i recently 
discovered Virtual Box and have found it to be quite useful.
