Wow I looked at that thread I only had a faint memory of ever being so helpful. I was reading some of my posts and I am now saying to myself "how did I come up with those?".
Anyway, I just set up an Xubuntu VM running LinuxSMP. I may need to do it again so I can create that "idiot competency" step-by-step guide that you want.

I looked for the VMWare Server 2.0 for Vista x64 but could not find it for some reason. I probably, like you said, don't need some full blown huge "server" thing if I'm just going to be "playing" pre-made images. Hopefully something smaller might be less resource hungry and therefore fold faster?
Going to download it and try it tonight when I get home.
