It's possible, depends of Ubuntu distr. I have experience of running it on Virtualbox, Vmware server 1.0 and 2.0 series starting from ubuntu 8.04. Running virtualbox on ubuntu is very easy, ocastionaly you can get some problems while starting machines/creating it, strange looking errors but theyre nothing more than permissions problems. After most of kernel updates or some major ubuntu updates you have to reconfigure your virtualbox nothing big, one simple line in terminal. Sometimes Virtualbox has problems importing machines from earlier versions, but it happens rarely. Imo Vbox would be best for you. Configuring network is fast and easy trough GUI.
PS. Vmware server is great but only on windows, its a pain on ubuntu
PS2. Ubuntu is nice but there is one sentence that explains how this distr works after some time: " there is microsoft windows, and ubuntu windows", i hope you get the picture. It works great untill 1st distr upgrade
if you have any specific questions/problems PM me on forums.
About Wine: Its great i preffer running Guildwars in wine when im on linux, but it depends of your PC mostly of your graph card and its linux support and drivers. Sometimes it works same as on windows, sometimes its little slower, but with pretty new PC and latest Wine, it should work fine if properly configured. (by latest i mean no the one from repositories but compiled from sources specially for your setup)
