Unfortunately, I prefer the free as in beer version, which provides a lot of the extras you'll probably want for your project, Lori.  Sometimes practicality forces us F/OSS end users to compromise a little bit :-)

I've only used VMWare a little bit, but I find VirtualBox to be much easier to configure on the whole (IMHO).
