Best Client Virtualization with old hardware.

I have a:
1.3 GHz AMD Thunderbird
Asus MoBo (can’t remember the model right now, it might be a K8N or K8V.)
768 MB RAM
80 gig drive IDE
LiteOn DVD-R
And I want to put W2k3 and Fedora on virtually. Nothing mission critical I just want the best performance I can get with the old hardware till I upgrade. And so if I change jobs and I need to know virtualization I will have something relevant to fall back on.
If this was your setup, what virtualization implementation would you go with? VMware, Xen, what?

Problem is you'll need X to run vmware console if it's your only computer. Otherwise, don't install X. Instead, install a vmware console elsewhere and connect to your sever via network.
Thats a great idea. I have DSL on my USB key. I didn't even think to put it on my box!
the idea about a vmware server and you access your VM from a remote computer is the best idea
Oh ya, I got that. I was just saying I use DSL on my usb key for use when I'm away from home and didn't think to install it on my desktop.
use XP as host O.S. and MS Virtual PC as client to virtualize w2k3 and VirtualBox/wmware server for fedora guest O.S. or ... second choice, use linux as host O.S. and vmware for both w2k3/fedora guests...
and allocate 384MB for any guest O.S.
