Hello everyone, I am interested in a computer emulator which allows to create virtual computers inside my gentoo computer. I need it to install RHEL 5 (CentOS 5) as guest systems with Oracle 10g and 11g for testing and prepearing for certification. What does better work on Gentoo - WMware-server or VirtualBox?

Either one works, but I use VirtualBox because it is easier to setup, and is geared more towards desktops. Vmware is a little ahead of the game in features, but VirtualBox is very solid.

It is really preference though.
