Yes, I was looking at Virtual Box just yesterday. It looks a lot more 
user-friendly. (E.g., you configure a VM using a GUI rather than miles 
of cryptic command switches.)

OTOH, you definitely need to "install" it before you can run it. My 
objective is to create a VM that I can put on a USB stick and plug into 
some arbitrary PC to quickly pull up a Linux console or something.

I might try something like Virtual Box or Xen on my home PC tho...
