I installed 4.0.8 this morning and it works very well. No problems at
all to this point using FreeBSD as the host and Windows7 as guest. I
may install Fedora a bit later.

So far everything seems to be working very well. The issues I had with
4.0.4 are gone and there is USB support. (I have yet to try it, though.)

One thing I realized quickly is that I didn't have VNC support. A small
bit of looking made me realize that I needed to re-build with different
config options and it is rebuilding now.

I would suggest that you look at adding a config section to the wiki.
While most options are pretty obvious, I had to look up VDE (don't need
it) and I still don't know what 'Webservice' covers. (Not knowing, I
didn't enable it.) It also does not even mention the virtualbox-ose-kmod
port. I know it will be installed as a dependency, but it could easily
be missed in an upgrade. Even in the handbook entry (which is looking a
bit stale) the only option mentioned is GuestAdditions.

I'm willing to re-work the handbook entry and submit it to whoever is
appropriate and can add a 'config' section to the wiki if it's OK, once
I know what all the options really mean.

Congratulations on the good work to both the FreeBSD porters and the
main VirtualBox teams!
