Rep:
If it was free, it wasn't VMWare . Is there anymore info you can give us about that app? Cygwin is pretty good, but it won't run an existing Linux installation (it's not an emulator). Maybe an open-source emulator like Bochs or Plex?
coLinux is great.
Supposedly you can run any Linux distro. You can get Gentoo and Debian images from Sourceforge.
To get X going, since you can't have coLinux take over the screen, you have to use either VNC, or, more interestingly, an X server for Win 32. There are free ones out there. I plan on using X-Win32 and connect via XDMCP.
The only thing stopping me, is I can't get the network going, if anyone could help me with that I'd love that.
As far as your problem, get coLinux, it seems like it could be great.
