I've used only VMWare on my Windows 7 machine, but I'd like to use something on Ubuntu.
What software would you recommend to create other Linux and Windows virtual machines?

You also may use VirtualBox, which is named
virtualbox-ose
in the repositories.From the package description:
In case you like to install an OS that uses XServer 1.10 (e.g. Ubuntu 11.04) you need Virtual Box version >= 4.0.6 available under GPL v2 licence for download or in a repository maintained by Oracle. For full support of features we also need to install Guest Additions. For USB 2.0 or RDP support we can download and install the Extension Pack. This will make Virtual Box closed source (PUEL-version).
