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! -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
