I'm going to throw another vote out there for virtualbox. I use it on top of ubuntu to virtualize windows, and it networks, suspends, and generally /works/ flawlessly. Make sure to download the version from sun (as opposes to the dpkg/apt repos) because it offers USB support, among other things.

It does a pretty job without the cost of VMware. But one problem you do run into with pentesting is getting at the network hardware, particularly any internal wireless card that you might use WLAN cracking. -- JoePete--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Information Assurance Certification Review BoardProve to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test.
