VirtualBox 2.0 was released last week. http://www.virtualbox.org/
I have been using it since this May. I installed it in my Solaris Nevada and added two guest OS, one for OpenSolaris 2008.11, one for Ubuntu. The machine is Ultra 40 and has 4G memory. So I give each of the guest OS 1G memory. It has been working smoothly for both. A little pity is that the OpenSolaris 2008.11's audio doesn't work, but the Ubuntu one works. When I don't use them, I usually pause them and hope it could save some CPU time for me. Another problem is that when resumed, the OpenSolaris' time cannot sync to current time while the Ubuntu could. Given Sun aquired them not a long time, guess we should give them sometime to fix those problem.
