VirtualBox is a great, free virtual machine program. It has been mentioned
in this group numerous times. However I don't recall seeing a link to
virtualbox images, where you can grab preconfigured machines. I find these
to be very handy. So, here is the site:
http://virtualboximages.com/
I'm grabbing SuperOS 9.10 as I write. SuperOS is Ubuntu with a bunch of non
free stuff. Please don't tell Richard Stallman.
Here is the official description:
Super OS (formerly: Super Ubuntu) is just a modified version of Ubuntu 9.10
(see: Super OS and Ubuntu) with the goal of making it more usable and
trying to remain compatible with Ubuntu.

Features compared to Ubuntu:

* Patched with 169 updates released for Ubuntu 9.10
* Better Multimedia Support: VLC, support for DVD-playback, MP3 support and
for other formats, like QuickTime video, Real video, Windows Media Video,
Flash Video, DivX, Xvid, (.mov, .wmv, .flv, .avi, etc...) etc...
* Internet software: aMSN, Opera, Google Chrome, Skype, Firefox with Flash
and Moonlight
* Portable Applications available (RUNZ included)
* Programs are easier to run: App Runner is included
* Mount tar.gz/.zip/.rar/.iso files with File mounter
* Other software: Java, Ubuntu Tweak, GParted (+ NTFS support)
* System beep is disabled
* Super OS now has it's own repository, in addition to the official Ubuntu
repositories
* Live USB creator (cd2usb) right from the DVD menu
* Most commonly used KDE and QT libraries included (for easier deployment
of software and portable apps

PS-It appears that most, if not all, of the machines are only downloadable
via torrents, so be prepared for some issues. For instance my download
speed right now is at modem speeds.

There are a lot of VMWare appliances too at:
http://www.vmware.com/appliances/. Had a look
at VirtualBox a while back and it wasn't as
polished as VMPlayer at that time. Has it finally
caught up with VMPlayer?
