requesting advice on freebsd as vmware guest

[ke han]

Sounds like you want something almost as good as VMware  
"Workstation", but free...thats VMware "Server".   VMware "Player" is  
really for static distribution purposes; doesn't allow you to  
snapshot or create VMs.
I'm using VMware Server for FreeBSD 6.1 on Win XP now...works great!!
