I haven't played with it in awhile but FreeBSD could be run as a Guest OS. Maybe the newer version can support FreeBSD hosting.

In my opinion in all honesty no one needs a virtual software as well as the freebsd kernel still had problems on VB last time i checked about 3 months ago or less. I also don't know what you mean by "supporting freebsd hosting" but if you mean to use a VB session as a serious freebsd server, I would think again. I wouldn't even do this with Linux although vb supports it enough. Anyways I hope it does work not or eventually if it solves other peoples problems. I guess with the ways I have things setup I just don't need virtualization. Best of Luck. --------------000303060404090701050000--
