As Howard said, VMWare - a freakingly kewl product.

But.. why would you want to use VMware to play with Oracle? Unless you want to build a virtual RAC, it makes IMO more sense to rather dual boot between operating systems when wanting to try Oracle on different o/s's. Besides, the hardware requirements for VMware plus Oracle is rather steep. And what's more, VMware is not a freeware/opensource product either.

Remember. Client-server is a *software* architecture. Not a hardware one. Or a virtual hardware one.
