If you don't want to spend the money buying VMware, you can download
the free player and a preconfigured Slackware 11 system VMware image, which
we use for the distribution of our software (it is pre-installed) from
our website. It may be the quickest way to get you working with Linux 
going this route.

It comes pre-installed with AccessGrid 3.1 videoconferencing software,
VNC and of course our software (UltraScan), which you can ignore unless
you have an analytical ultracentrifuge :-)
