[vinnywright]

I know a lot of you all play with VM's so I was looking for suggestions on which one of the free ones out there are the best .

I know of virtualbox-OSE, virtualbox , VMware & player ,and qemu-KVM

whats the best choice for some one that wants the closest thing to a real machine and if theirs some better than above let me know.

thanks

I think, personally, that Oracles VirtualBox is the best.

I use Virtualbox, but there's no reason not to try the others. None of them is perfect though.

VB is very easy to setup and use, so if it works for you then you may decide to stick with it.

I'm using VirtualBox now. I'll admit, though, that I tried it only because I wanted to see how different it was from VMware Player. VB works well enough for running a Windows 7 VM in Kubuntu. However, lately I'm encountering an increasing number of occasions where drag-and-drop would be nice, so I'm considering changing. Plus, VMware Player supports Aero better.
