VMs are the best for development because it's easy to get everything to run seamlessly on it - standardized VM drivers.
Good idea Steveo... I do the same thing at home for my webhoting box (for my currently defunct blog which I should be resurrecting soon). It's either going to be Ubuntu 8.10 or CentOS 5 for the final OS.
Word to the wise tho - don't try installing Linux on MS Virtual Server 2005 R2 :P I've tried it on 32-bit and 64-bit binaries of Virtual Server 2005 R2 (current work dev box is VS 2K5 R2 64-bit)... insta-tank. :(
