Hi, Virtualbox is a good choice. running in all OS you can make a vm in one OS and carry it to another box... Vmware server, which is free, is also a good choice, running on linux or window$. its also a good choice to start learning vmwareesx and other tool from vmware. I dont know what is your job,but in mine we use vmware esx, vmware server, virtualbox, and win2k8hyperv
to transform a physical box to vm, I suggest to you the best tool vmware converter. this tool convert the physical to virtual and VirtualBox can work with the vmware hdd as its own. A great tool!!! imagine that you have virtualserver from vmware on linux or windows, build a vmguest.you would like to change the hardware and without troubble you open it with virtualbox.... You could also try a good tool startwind software... regards Ph.
