which is the best virtual machine software which runs over vista and fully supports linux?

Q. I am planning to install Linux over my Vista using a virtual machine....does anyone know which virtual machine should i use?
Thanks for you reply guys!!! Can you tell me which VMware should i use coz i saw many versions ...Wubi is good but i want to install Ubuntu in virtual machine environment just to try ....if i like it i will actually install in my hard drive.

A. I recommend VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/ I have used it to test countless Linux distros.

Alternatively you can run off a LiveCD. You download an ISO of the distro. and create a bootable disc using Nero Burning ROM or similar software.

Once you have done that you can Linux LIVE without touching your Hard Drive and performance would be improved to that of a Virtual installation.

I recommend Linux Mint 4.0 (Daryna) http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_daryna.php which is superior to raw Ubuntu and easy to install and use http://www.howtoforge.com/desktop-installation-guide-linux-mint-4.0-daryna This is an installation guide but it also gives a detailed summary of the contents of Linux Mint and may come in useful should you decide to install it on VirtualBox.

Is it possible to run a real computer, (on an external drive, or another partition) inside a virtual machine?
Q. I am somewhat experienced with computers and used virtual machines on a range of OS's (host and virtual).
I am currently dual-booting Linux(Debian-based) and Windows(vista).

My question really is: Can i use my windows inside a virtual machine on my Linux, or my Linux inside a virtual machine on my Windows?

Any reply is appreciated!

A. If you're experienced with virtual machines and have done it before... why are you asking?

Anyway, go to http://www.vmware.com/ and download the free one. You can also (if this is what you're asking) connect to an already existing hard drive, partition, etc., and boot the OS that way. Works A LOT better with the already-existing Linux hard drive than vice-versa.

It is Linux, Windows, etc., compatible as both a host and a guest OS.

How do I run Linux on a Virtual Machine in Windows XP SP3?
Q. I can't use VMware's VMplayer, because I use VMACE for work and they conflict.

What virtual machine should I use?

And also, which distro if Linux should I start with? I'm not experienced at all.

A. You can try Virtual Box and Ubuntu
