Though it did require several days of researching various system tweaks the up and running VB that I have is almost 100% on par with VMware. I have a couple of Windows VMs running and I believe FBSD is a better virtual host than VMware on Fedora. However, since I have not run VB on Fedora nor VMware on FreeBSD this is only an unsupported observation at this point. I would like to communicate with the FBSD VM evangelist about several topics if possible one topic is regarding USB. Also, I would like to communicate with the FBSD desktop evangelist as well about a few ideas particularly someone who has access to Firefox/Mozilla developers. Thanks Paul
