It's possible some early VMWare products (Like VMWare Workstation 3) work on FreeBSD 7, but a) you can't buy that products any more and b) you probably wouldn't want to use them even if you did. The only approximately useful option is Qemu, but it's slow and may not work on AMD64. There's a donation box on http://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/2007cb.html for developers to get VMWare Workstation working on FreeBSD but the status of the project is unknown. There's also some indication someone is working on VirtualBox but that's probably in very early stages (and besides that, VirtualBox doesn't work reliably). --------------enig246539EA7C451FE3D1C55940 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHJ7bQldnAQVacBcgRAnKWAJ4qZ2tgfo19u+Pm3dbHajhqT5aAoQCdGn1/ VFZ1wShuDOqN2oIhPEj+97M= =HiBh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig246539EA7C451FE3D1C55940--
