I'm planning on replacing my current host OS with a linux distro and then load the replaced OS as a virtual machine for apps that require Windows. Does anybody have a clue if something like this is possible and where to start ?

    The term in vogue for this process is "p2v"'ing (physical to virtual).

If I am not mistaken VmWare Workstation has a built in feature to Virtualize a Physical Machine.
