Not in context: the original question was

Is it possible to run Linux in a VM on FreeBSD so as to run the Linux version 
of QuickBooks.

I don't know if it's possible to run QuickBooks through Linux compatibility, 
but personally I would try it first before trying to set up a VM. In any case 
it's not clear whether the OP was aware that this might be an option.
