Linux would almost certainly not be what you need! But the point of a VM is you can put what you like/are licensed for on it. And there are some wonderful Linux server products that come pre-rolled in turnkey images (drupal, etc included).0

Sorry mate I am getting confused now! It's a virtual machine, you install on it what you want. Vista, Linux, BeOS, OS2Warp (if you must), XP, Win7, etc. It is an alternative to VPC or VMWare, but unlike those two it'll run on Vista Home Premium (and other excluded/domestic lines) and you can create, not just consume disk images. You want alternatives for running a VM, that's exactly what VirtualBox is0
