Yes, VMware as far as I know is available for linux, but \"virtual
box\" is a free alternative, which also works for linux and windows.

IIRC the synaptic name is vbox, and it should be available through
your package manager.

You need a windows CD to install it onto the virtual box.  And also be
careful of installing your virtual box on a disk type that doesn\'t
support really large files (10gb +).
