Compare VMware player and virtualbox for hosting Linux on Windows XP:
Both free.
Virtual machine basic functions:
- Vmware player allow 64bit linux on 32bit XP (may need bios setup)
- Virtualbox has smaller footprint and shorter wake-up time from sleep
- Virtualbox allow full install from installation cd, Vmware player need some work-around (refer previous article)
- Virtualbox crashed once when I tried to install the guest side tools on a puppy distribution. VMware haven't crash yet.
Guest side

oh, man
i thought vm player is a player or client program, didn't know it is a
server...
am using vbox, so far so good

some work-around (refer previous article)
a puppy distribution. VMware haven't crash yet.
. The guest side tools provides: (a) kernel module(s), a X video driver, a X
mouse driver, a network interface driver (as kernel module), a filesystem
mounting tool.

one little fact, Softice 2.8 works very well on VMware, crashes on
VirtualBox/VirtualPC

I'm totally confused with the server-client terminology.Is the virtual
machine platform software called "server" and the guest OS called "client"?
VM player is supposed to "play" the vmware image created by other versions.
However it is not difficult to use it to boot up from an installation CD and
install a Linux from scratch.

是 VMware 自己搞的名词。vmware server 就是 enterprise 版，管理功能强
player 就是单用户版

For creating virtual machine:
google this
vmwarezcom-generic-livecd-virtual-machine
This file has a 2G disk, which could be too small, so you may also google
blank vmdk
to add some bigger disks.

It is fine to use vmware's image under vbox, so I think the other way around
should be fine too...
