From all the answers I got, the best solution for me is: - run Linux as host - virtualize FreeBSD as far as I intend to use it on Rack servers Installing it directly as host would drive me to overhead. Maybe after mastering "headless" administration I could try it on a laptop. Anyway, thank you all for your advices and see you if I get the job! :-) -- RMA.
