To replicate my VPS locally;
Sun Microsystems - VirtualBox (GPL)
http://www.virtualbox.org/
This VMware is in my opinion better than Microsoft Virtual PC ( http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/ ) because it works... lol
It supports all the distro's of linux, give or take, has worked for every distro I have ran in it.
Install, then go to settings and set your default destination folders...
Now download the VM Image of your choosing and extract it to the default folders you just set. It is that easy.

Notice under teh download links are the usernames and passwords you will need to login when you boot up your virtual machine. I suggest pasting all of this info into the description of your newly created Virtual Machine for later use.
There is no install needed, the VM Images are working on first boot.
