I would l= ike some seasoned advice from others on the following before proceeding:=0A= =0A1. As I understand it you can install Virtual Box from the ports collect= ion. But then I see the instructions in the Handbook:=0A=0A=A0 =A0 =A0=A0To= launch=A0VirtualBox, type from a=A0Xorg=A0session:=0A% VirtualBox=0ASo am = I to assume the only way to run Virtual Box is to have Xorg installed and r= unning on the FreeBSD server? =A0Which is a drag because my current FreeBSD= servers are exactly that, servers, and do not have the fancy video cards, = monitors, etc.. to run Xorg. Is there an alternative to running the interfa= ce from Xorg. I'm a command line fanatic when it comes to servers. Or would= I be able to install Xvnc or something like that and run it from one of my= Windows 7 machines which has all the fancy video=A0capabilities?=0A=0A=0A2= . Once installed, I will be able to install something like Fedora or openSU= SE? These will only be installed as server so I can run databases like MySQ= L in the Linux environment. The client I'm working for insists on using SUS= E...no FreeBSD allowed. They think it's poison and are very biased on this = so there's no talking them out of it. I need to gain experience using these= databases on Linux, not FreeBSD.=0A=0A3. I'm going to buy a 1 TB SATA driv= e for this setup. It will be running on an AMD64 server with FreeBSD 9.x or= whatever is the latest release as of this weekend.=0A=0A4. There is also a= Plan 'B' to go the other way. Since I already have two i7 machines running= Windows 7, perhaps it might be better to install the Windows version of Vi= rtual Box or even VMWare and create my instances of Linux on one or even bo= th of these machines.=0A=0AAny advice would be appreciated.

Starting the virtual machines is not xorg/login dependent. You can do this for any service through rc.conf So edit your /etc/rc.conf and insert whatevername_enable="YES" to auto-start the service. The whatevername can be found by looking in /etc/rc.d for base-system included services or /usr/local/etc/rc.d for services installed through ports. >> 2. Once installed, I will be able to install something like Fedora or >> openSUSE? Yes, that's the whole idea behind VM's. Since SQL is needed, you will then have to install & configure the mysql package for fedore/suse inside the VM. Installing mySQL from FreeBSD ports won't be of any good for the client's requirements. 3. 9-stable should do the job 4. Do whatever you are comfortable with. Finally: posted in an unrelated thread - you would have gotten better answers by starting your own.
