I've never used virtualization software, at least not consciously. But
I do have some good answers to your question.

Ryan Brown gave a talk on User Mode Linux back on January 15th. If you
want Linux on Linux, this is one way to do it.

Also, there's a recent upstart called Xen that I don't know anything
about. Might be overkill for your purposes, but like I said, I really
don't know.
