I personally use Virtualbox. In this way if (when) the XP machine
becomes unstable I can reset to a "snapshot" of the system. I don't use
it often but there are still somethings I need the XP system for in work.
If you are comfortable with command line then simply type:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
which should fetch what you need from the repos. The wizard for
creating new machines is fairly straight forward. Go to this link:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/create-and-manage-virtual-machines-using-virtualbox.html
and scroll down to "Create a Virtual Machine". This will give you a
good start on how to create the XP machine.
