VMware Server is also being provided free of charge, and it does allow 
the creation of guests. This alleviates the need to take the long route 
to set one up in Player.

I do agree that it's mostly easier and better to set up in a virtual 
linux environment than straight on Windows, but only if you have a bit 
of experience with GNU/Linux based systems. Otherwise, doing it straight 
on Windows could maybe work as well, but then be sure to update the wiki 
to tell others how you got it to work.
