    FreeBSD 9.2
    Windows 7 [1]

All images are 64 bits and allotted 20.00 GB fixed storage, 32 MB Video Memory, and enabled Bridge network adapter. The base system is currently a MacMini running OSX 10.9 but will be upgraded to a Mac Pro in the near
future. Are there any other OS's that should be included?

I would have chosen Debian instead of Ubuntu and something like Red Hat or CentOS instead of Fedora. The reason for this is that they're older and more likely to work on more systems.

Unfortunately it does not provide hard guarantees. Major version change may imply ABI breakage so using older distro / libraries buys you nothing.
