Scratching the Linux Itch with an OSX VM

MacWindows.com has a list of emulators for running Windoze and Linux on OSX and running OSX on Windoze. Last night, I bought iEmulator, an OSX repackaging of Fabrice Bellard's Qemu, which I've gotten to know and love in Windows and Puppy Linux. It ran Puppy Linux 2.12 beta without a hitch on my son's MacBook, though it was no speed daemon. They probably didn't convert kqemu, which makes a big speed difference. I'll probably eventually buy Parallels Desktop. I'll certainly download it and get a free 15-day evaluation key, as soon as I get my new iMac, which will be soon.
