Buy a machine? Why not use UML?
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/
umlbuilder can build Redhat 8.0 images (along with loads of others)
http://umlbuilder.sourceforge.net/
http://umlbuilder.sourceforge.net/distributions.shtml
There are debian root filing systems on the UML site.
Alternatively use the image created by umlbuilder and chroot into it.
Mount --bind your source directory and away you go...
