I dual-boot FreeBSD, either bare-bones, or into a virtual machine - BUT
that is VirtualBox with the PUEL'ed extension pack, on a 64-bit Linux
amd64 host.

And I don't care about VMWare at all since they took VMWare server 1.x
off the market.
  I've seen their pricing policies since the early days of VMWare
Workstation 1.X many a year ago, and it's ridiculous (meaning way
overpriced), and there are more reasons...
