If your computer is not that old, if you have enough ram (>1GB) and  
some  harddisk space (10GB is enough) to spare you might consider a  
virtual machine. A really good, free and opensource one is VirtualBox

http://www.virtualbox.org/

Nowadays the virtual machines run very close to the speed of the host  
computer. You can therefore use them exactly for that purpose: test  
code on several platforms.

And there are many nice features, like e.g. snapshots (you can recall  
the exact state of a machine any time in the future). Very useful for  
development.

Regards,
Werner

PS: There are many others like VirtualPC, VMWare, parallels, Qemu,  
Bochs, etc. but VirtualBox runs fine on linux, is fast and free.
