I run VMware workstation under linux.  It can be downloaded from the web site
but aquiring a license is an exercise left up to the user:-)

Once running I created a virtual session - this creates the virtual hardware
machine you will run on.  HTen i install Win98 normally once I start my Virtual
machine.  Then Windows runs as if it has its own physical hardware.  Windows
runs in a windowed VMware session but I can make it full screen and it looks
like windows is running exclusively.  I can show you if you want to stop by the
house sometime (in kenmore) I have a lot of VMware experience becasue we use it
at work a LOT!  Making a virtual session does use up a large chunk of space. 
If I want a 2-4 GB Harddrive for my session I use up that much space on my
physical drive.  As far as the session (win 98) is concerned it is a free
standing system with no ties to the host (it can be setup to share files etc
via samba suring installation) So If I want to print I setup a printer in
windows just like I would on a seperate machine etc.
