Hi folks on emulation@,

I've been using VirtualBox on FreeBSD (and Windows) for about a year. No 
problems on either platform. Even though my FreeBSD platform, my laptop, 
doesn't support SVM, I've had no problems and had only one hang on my dual 
core AMD system at home (may have been memory related). Check out the 
following article.

p/

Have people had problems under FreeBSD or is this a Linux-only issue?
