There is also a GUI that makes setting up and running VMs very easy. Its Virtual Machine Manager and it uses libvirtd to manage machines. I have also at one time installed bsd and it ran fine. You can also try out different live cd by just downloading the ISO and connecting it to a guest in Virtual Machine Manager. Installs are done this way also.
