</div>There's to many ways to make a complete list here with instructions,<br>
but I personally use VirtualBox[1]. It's relatively easy to setup and<br>
the performance is pretty good on modern hardware. They have a yum<br>
repository to make installation[2] and updates easy.<br>
<br>
The link is for version 3.2 but just replace "3.2" in the install<br>
instructions with "4.0" to get the latest released version. I haven't<br>
installed on a clean system for a while so I assume it pulls in<br>
kernel-headers and kernel-devel when you install. If not you'll need<br>
to install those packages as well. It needs them to build the kernel<br>
module.<br>
