I’ve recently migrated from VMWare Workstation 6.6 over to an Open Source alternative developed by Sun Microsystems called Virtualbox. It seems to out perform VMWare on my Dekiwiki VM, and its free. Apparently the 3D hardware accelerated guest drivers for Virtualbox are in the works, read Compiz and XGL in your Ubuntu VM, very cool stuff. The usb support also seems to be working fine for my BackTrack 2 VM I use every now and then with an Edimax EW7318USG wifi card, monitor mode and everything. So unless you need any of the VMWare management features or something I highly recommend Virtualbox. Open Source FTW.
If you’re looking for a Virtualbox book this is the only one I could find really:
VirtualBox 3.1: Beginner's Guide $49.99
