I use VMware so I can run Windows programs on a Linux system. It does require a valid Windows license and install disk. I run Win2K Pro as a guest OS under Linux. I have not tried VMware under the Ubuntu system, but I think they now have a compatible version. I run Bobcad/CAM for mechanical CAD-CAM (not great, but I bought it and figured out how to use it) as well as some heavy-duty electronic CAD programs this way. VMware has a trial version.
