Linux virtualization

[Kristoffer Gustafsson]

Hi.
I'm planning to use qemu now I think.
Because I've read a lot of how to set it up, and you can do almost 
everything in text mode. Specifiyng sound options, create a system imageetc.
What is the best solution? qemu or virtualbox?
Also, do you know if there is a way of editing files in an iso-file?
I'm planning to do an unattended xp install, and need to put my winnt.sif 
file on the cd.
