How can I setup a Virtualisation system
How can I install VMware workstation or alternative?
I have a HP XW6400 with a Xeon processor that I would like to learn about virtualization with.
Can anyone make a recommendation of a good place to start? Does the virtualization layer form the foundation of other applications or OS's that are virtualized?

Oh, you seem somewhat confused about virtualization.
Firstly, do you want to virtualize the applications or the whole operating systems? They are both possible by different products.
A virtualized OS is the same as a physical server. You install your Windows on it, and configure just like a physical server. You can do everything on a virtualized server as it is a normal server.
A virtualized application is completely another thing. It only virtualizes the application, not the whole OS.
