The host (your LL box with VB installed) can be on a separate network than the guests (virtual machines running in VB)..
Or you can put them on the same network and share between them as you would any other PC..
The host and guests share resources - CPU/Memory being the main "component" but can be adjusted as needed. Hard drive will be a sized file (VHD) within the host. I usually set to dynamic to keep it small and allow to grow to the given size (although static sized is faster - I don't notice). I have a quad core w/12gb ram (although running windows) that has VB and VMWare running on it (its the only 1 of 4 that run mainly windows :o).. I have ran VB on my mini running LL..
I can run 3 Win Servers and a couple workstations and the host simultaneously, about then do I get resource prompts..
My main set up is in VB -2 Win Servers running AD/DHCP/DNS/DFS/WDS/WSUS and a Workstation and VMWare with 1 Hyper-V server with a workstation in it, all on the same network but separate from my home/internet- Like I said with all this running I may get resource warnings. But know that you can configure as many systems as you like and increase hardware spec but not run all simultaneously.
For terminal - what you do specifically to that pc will only affect that pc, unless you connect to it or do something that would deleted that VM's data from the host.
Seeing what you've posted recently, you'll be right at home
OH - you could use your previous 32-bit setup as a host - only downside is you can only run 32-bit guest OS's.. The 64-bit system can run either 32 or 64...
Hope it helps clarify
