VMware is a no go for now, or probably any time soon. I don't think virtualbox is running on freebsd yet. You could use jails, for just other freebsd installs, not really a VM so to speak. bochs is crap for this purpose, simics doesn't run on it worth a crap either. If I were you, I would use something else. say a hypervisor running on bare hardware, ie: VMware ESX, or similar. I would say xen if it was ready, but I don't think it is. Cheers Mate, Mike
