Sure thing Paul. Probably the easiest way is to use VirtualBox, as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/FirstVM is a quick guide to how to get started. At the step "Attaching a CDROM Image", you can use a physical CD in your host machine's drive if you don't have the required ISO image. Ask if you get stuck. When you've got your VM installed and booted, you can mess around with it as much as you like. The Snapshot feature is especially good for this - before you do something that might break your VM, pause it and take a snapshot. If it all goes horribly wrong, go back to the snapshot.
