you should look into VM Ware. They have a very good virtual server software, that will allow you to run multiple OS's on your desktop. Though i dont know what capablities for what software they support. I know that they support windows and linux. Beyond that, i dont know about unix. If its a small computer though, dont try to run too many virtual instances or the computer will lag. With all the dual cores and quad cores running around, vmware is haivng a ball with new updates and patches that let the software acutally regulate the cores to what virtual instance. THough i have never tried it, it would be a good experiment to try clustering on a virtual instance. good luck
