VirtualBox

[Dick Dowdell]

I used VMware for years and switched to VirtualBox at the suggestion of a
friend.  I've used it for a couple of years with Ubuntu as my primary OS
and Windows 7  as a guest OS.  I do not have anything bad to say about it.
 It is well documented (you do have to read the documentation), regularly
updated, and has very flexible networking options.

For individual use I prefer it to VMware, though VMware may have the
advantage in management tools for enterprise environments.
