Hello Matt,<br><br>As others said, you have these two great options (also others): VirtualBox and KVM.<br><br>I think the point is not "which one is better", as you already said you "haven't worked with VMs for a long while. I thinks that's the point. VirtualBox has an GUI more friendly with an easier configuration template and other stuff that will make you project easier.<br>
<br>Good look trying this great distro.<br><br><a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide</a><br clear="all"><div>

</div></div>For test run, both VirtualBox and KVM are okay. I started with<br>
VirtualBox because it has better GUI and better mouse response. Now,<br>
I'm using KVM, because it can access raw harddisk, whereas VirtualBox is<br>
limited to USB disk.<br>
