I'm running this: http://www.vmware.com/products/server/

It's free, at least for a little while.  My install is showing an
expiration of 07/13/2006.  I'm not sure what will happen at that point,
as I couldn't find (though didn't look very hard) any information on
their website about this being a trial-only version.

I was just looking for a way to put off paying for Workstation for a few
months to free up some cash.  Apparently Server is just like
Workstation, but with a few extra niceties thrown in.
