Several. The one I like is the free VMWare Server. It's a virtual machine that lets you run any OS on another OS. You can also try open source virtual machines like QEMU.

Virtualization
 
There is a new thing named VirtualBox,
its OpenSource and comes with good GUI !

I'd venture to guess you need to install it as root.
