Can you tell > me which is the better sofware to do this? For a FreeBSD host, QEmu is the best supported option. There's also Win4BSD, which is a customised/modified version of QEmu. I've seen several reports online of this being better/faster than QEmu. I've never personally been able to get it to work, though. And that's pretty much it if you want full-OS virtualisation (ie, the VMs have their own OS). If you don't need that, and just want to run multiple FreeBSD setups on one host, have a look at jail(8). -- Freddie fjwcash@gmail.com
