Looking for VMware

Hey all, old man here needs some help. I'm trying to reeducate myself to become employed again. I'm studying the CompTIA Network+ manual. I need to install VMware to run the following operating systems: 2 Window Servers 2003, Windows XP Client, Windows Server 2000 and Linux Red Hat 8/9. Does anyone of you know where I can download a freeware application of this software. I'm an old man trying to learn a new trade. I need some assistance on this. Can anyone aid me in this endeavor? I would appreciate any and all help.

You can download VMWare Player from here or you can download VirtualBox here. Either one should do the job for you. BTW, you will need to have the install disks to be able to install those various OSes, virtualization software allows you to run multiple OSes but doesn't include them.

I would strongly suggest VirtualBox over Vmware in this instance.
