I was wondering if a linux distribution that simply loaded up and booted a Virtual Image file (preferable VirtualBox VDI format, but not too fussed).

Might you be looking for a hypervisor?

Such as:
VMware vSphere
Xen Hypervisor

I suspect you are looking for an easier/lighter solution though, setting up and maintaining a hypervisor are not that trivial.

Thanks for that - Xen looks perfect for what I am trying to do. – pixl Sep 5 '11 at 12:41

I don't think such a thing exists. You would need a suitable virtualization platform e.g. VirtualBox or VMware Server etc to boot the virtual hard disk.
