[...] In October of 2006 we saw one of my favorite Linux releases get unveiled: Fedora Core 6. It was a significant improvement in speed over the previous versions which I found to be nearly unusable with my hardware. Actually, what I’ve been playing with lately is the Fedora Core 6 Live CD that was just released toward the end of December, and this is a great way to see how much you like Fedora. [...]

I'm actually not a big fan of the Virtual PC so I use VMWare. There is a free version available but you can only run operating systems that people have made available for download already. You can find a list of the operating systems here and the download link for the VMWare Player is here. Essentially you just download and install the player and then it can run the "pre-installed" operating system. As far as a guide goes there isn't really anything good out there yet but Wikipedia has a good article on the different types of virtual machines.

A VM for me to run Linux under Windows. I know of the freeware from Microsoft, I wanted to read up on it before I experimented. Any pointers ?

Ahh…they have the DVD images only available as a Torrent download! Probably so that people don’t crush their mirrors. Thanks for pointing that out.

Compared to Mandriva 2007, whcih one do you think is more suitable for newbies?

I agree with Ryan Ubuntu is very easy to use, especially for person coming from Win XP Pro environment. It has vast amount of how-to on their forums, also there are many website that have tutorials on it, and has very robust software install/uninstall managing system on it. Very friendly for new users, and it just works.

I think that Mandriva stays on top of technology and is able to get a lot of really cool things implemented, but for people who are new to Linux I think Fedora would be a little better. Of course Ubuntu is probably the absolute best for newbies not because it is easier to use but mostly because there are a large number of tutorials and guides available.

Are you talking about virtual machines in general or specifically for Linux? There are virtual machine applications available for Windows as well, such as VMWare, that allow users to run Linux AND Windows on a Linux OR Windows machine.
