@Kanati, virtualpc2004 sounds like a different flavour of VMWare. No dualboot and no standalone sounds interesting - less expense and potentially less hassle.
@MadMax, only reason I'm steering away from fedora is that it doesn't seem to be as noob friendly as ubuntu if going for the dual boot affair, purely from the posts on this thread you understand.
I may end up trying to install my version of fedora on a virtual machine much as Kanati and GrahamK has suggested, in fact this is looking like the most favourable option. Downloading VirtualPC2004 from msdn now... its free!
Thanks all,
