Hello,

I'm interested in vmware (or vmware comparable solutions)... and can't 
seem to find a suitable source of info.  I know its in the ports.  I've 
done a fair amount of googling... but everything seems to be regarding 
running it with an XP host and a FreeBSD guest.  I am looking for info 
on the reverse.

I am interested in issues regarding installation and configuration.  I 
have a need to run WindowsXP as the guest OS... and would like info on 
any 'gotchas'.  Will I need a license of any sort?  Anyone using this 
config?  etc...

I am running 5.4-STABLE i386.

I was hoping someone might be able to offer opinions/comments/pointers.

Thanks.
