I tried it a while ago but I was looking for something that could emulate a 64 bit system on a 32 bit OS and it didn't support that so I ended up using VMWare Server 1.0, and it worked fine on my work computer but when I tried to download and install the latest version (6.0) at home I couldn't get it to work. I'm downloading VirtualBox now to try it out, all I need is something that can run Linux from Windows so maybe it will be enough. Thanks for the tip!
