On the topic of VMWare, does anyone happen to have experience with (or at least the theory of) using it for creating a VPS on a dedicated server? Due to the amount of RAM used, I don't quite get how we use them to set up VPS's without having massive RAM available to use, nor can I find a guide anywhere.

I really like this virtual box software, i do use this in my ubuntu Operating System its just like host and guest system.

where host would invite his/her guest for dinner or some other work.
the guest operating system uses the stipulated configuration of the hardware specified in settings during the creation of the virtual Operating System and completes its work within the specified hardware requirements.

I also like VirtualBox, even though it was bought by ORACLE, it still seems to work pretty well. It's good that it's free and VMWare is not free, you need to pay for it.

I personally use VirtualBox on Windows 7, I run XP on it for testing purposes where you can do a lot of junk stuff and if you ruin something, I just use the backup of that XP to make it what it was in the beginning, I mean when I first installed XP on virtualbox as a separate OS, I did everything like I use it and made a backup and whenever I get a virus or ruin something, I just restore from that backup and it really useful, especially to not mess up my main Windows 7 installation.

I also tried different operating systems with it, just to see how it works, from various Linux distros to Amiga like OS like AROS which can easily be run from VirtualBox :)

The benefit of virtualization is that you don't need to dual boot! But of course you need a computer with good specifications to run it.

Also, in another topic I've read a little about KVM which is as I understand is Kernel-based Virtual Machine and didn't really try it myself, but here is a link to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia....Virtual_Machine if somebody is interesting.
