Talking of FreeBSD bounties, VMWare 6.x?

[Rick N]

Hi John,

 

 I understand Vmware is commercial, but what about  Sun's/OpenSolaris's xVM, (VirtualBox) its free. I haven't played with it in awhile but FreeBSD could be run as a Guest OS.  Maybe the newer version can support FreeBSD hosting. Needless,  its popular within alot of linux users, ...

cheers,

 

Rick.
