David,
You can already do this with just the free VMPlayer. Just takes a little
work to do but is relatively simple. And yes makes it real easy to build
test systems. What I do is make a base clean install, say Centos 4.2 or
Ubuntu Server and then make a copy of the directory, then do application
installs to the new image. If I don;t like what I got , delete and make
a new copy. Or as you progress you can shutdown and make a copy so as to
have a snapshot before another package is installed.
Take a look at : VMware Player with your own Ubuntu installation

( seems to be down right now )
or this , but not as complete

Free (as in beer), whenever that happens.
