Hi Jigme,

I would personally recommend a virtual machine, Havard mentioned Virtual 
Box as an option there is also VMware Player.
VMware Player can be easier to setup on some platforms, and these days 
includes the ability to create a VM (Virtual Machine) from scratch as well.

As a host for the VM I would recommend using a debian net install disk, 
this will provide a very small footprint, without removing access to any 
packages you may need.

If you want a hand to set up a vm please let me know.

Regards
David G
