On 10.1, too, I think. Do you have something that > needs an old version of FreeBSD? That's what I installed when I built the box, website said supported through end of 2016, which I liked. I found some online references back then which were not overly flattering about clang vs. gcc, much (50+ %) slower compiled code, other issues, so I went with 9.3R. I was & am looking for stability & as much performance as I can get out of my puny-ish (AMD sempron 3850) CPU & gfx. Different versions of VBox on 10 vs. 9.3R ? -- William A.
