Hi Mark (and everybody on this very dynamic list!),

You could use VMWare server (which is free) and download a pre-installed 
image;

http://www.vmware.com/download/server/

I use VMWare since a couple of years and it has been invaluable for me.  
It's a great software for testing. 

Hats off to mOnOwall & pfSense!  I have boxes running around the world 
and i'm very satisfied!
