I have found that running linux as a host and running a linux guest are a very powerful combination. I used this combination to test different distributions and had very little difficulty in setting up a new instance. I also ran windows, openbsd (as the firewall) and sun solaris for pc and a great many others. 

the reason I stipulated linux as the host was that I had far better control over running services. I found that windows sucked as a host and caused problems (especially for linux guests).
