Running an OS inside an OS?

I believe it's called VMWareFusion or something like that..

OK, I'd like to use VirtualBox and run Linux, but I'm not sure which version to use, and which versions will have compatible drivers for my machine.

I'd like one that enables me to connect to the internet, and is not too big on space. Ideally one similar to the ones they use in netbooks would be nice.

My personal preference is VMWare Workstation but you can't legally get it for free

They all do the same thing, www.virtualbox.com and go to the downloads page... just click the Windows one.

again I ask, I've decided on Virtualbox using Linux.
What version of Linux is best to use?

I wanna use one that they use on netbooks if possible.
