And those things will get eyeballs. It=92s really unfortunate that the VMware option requires linux compat = (at least) in order to work: = https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?productId=3D352&downloadGroup=3DO= VFTOOL350 Is there anyone who=92s been working with VMware directly to add FreeBSD = support? If so, I think that opensourcing this tool (or at least having = a binary) would potentially be the best win of all in the short-term.
