Linux rootkit question

["J. Bakshi" <j.bakshi () unlimitedmail org>]

Hello,

During the test with chkrootkit and rkhunter I can see those tools check the system against a no.of rootkits. How a 
system practically behave when infected by a rootkit ? Is it possible to infect my Linux OS running inside vmware with 
rootkits and observe its behavior ? 

Thanks
