i've used virtualbox, virtualbox-ose, and vmware server..
commercial virtualbox and vmware are not in default repos anymore.
you may be able to find them in a 3rd party repo, but i think it'd be
easiest just to install the vendor binary.
ubuntu gutsy and below (and maybe hardy?) have a known bug in which
vmware server wants to re-install/re-configure itself once in a while.
should be workarounds for it.
and once i got the host interface bridging bug on ubuntu settled out,
i loved virtualbox (have yet to try it on my gentoo box)
