VirtualBox installs without problems on most Linux systems. It's comparable
to parallels. VMware-player, also free, installs on most Linux systems.
The simplest one, in my opinion, is VirtualBox.
I could split it up and run both Windows and Linux, or throw the whole Windows mess out and run Windows programs with an emulator. If I do use a partition, I suppose an emulator could access files in the other partition, couldn't it?
It should be able to do so, this depends upon how the files in the other
partition are exported. With VirtualBox, you have options for shared
directories as well.
And would it run flawlessly? And would a Linux machine communicate flawlessly with a Mac over a wireless home net?

It certainly should. I usually use NFS to transfer files between my wife's
machine and mine, but also use ssh.
