I decided today to download and try xVM VirtualBox from Sun Microsystems.
I decided to start with it on my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.6 and try a variety of different guest operating systems. The install was straight forward, as I expected it would be and the foot print seems to be lightweight.
My first virtual guest was OpenSolaris 2008.11. As you can imagine, no problems there, everything worked the first time, which is more than I can say for my attempt at installing OpenSolaris on Parallels. I still need to try Ubuntu and XP, but if everything goes well there, I will be replacing Parallels with xVM on my Mac.

Does Arch linux work in xVM?
Not sure, I haven't thought to try it, but it is listed as a version of linux they are supporting when you setup a vm.
