I spoke with a couple of their devs on Freenode and while they are willing to assist contributors porting to FreeBSD, they are not actively working on it themselves. Their response to my inquiry was "check out source and start porting!" A few of their devs hang out in #vbox-dev on Freenode. This would be an excellent port for FreeBSD. best, -matt -- Matt Olander CTO, iXsystems - "Servers for Open Source" http://www.iXsystems.com Public Relations, The FreeBSD Project http://www.FreeBSD.org BSD on the Desktop! http://www.pcbsd.org Phone: (408)943-4100 ext. 113 Fax: (408)943-4101
