I understand Vmware is commercial, but what about Sun's/OpenSolaris's xVM,

Needless, its popular within alot of linux users, ...
Hi Rick,
Yes, I use VirtualBox regularly on my <blush> Linux-Mint desktop.
It works extremely well, apart from its fledgling OpenGL support.
It's great for those, thankfully rare, occasions when I need to
run the Redmond software.
I do like vb and I ran it on vista, xp and Linux before I finally got
enough computers + ssh and vnc. In my opinion in all honesty no one
needs a virtual software as well as the freebsd kernel still had
problems on VB last time i checked about 3 months ago or less. I also
don't know what you mean by "supporting freebsd hosting" but if you mean
to use a VB session as a serious freebsd server, I would think again. I
wouldn't even do this with Linux although vb supports it enough. Anyways
I hope it does work not or eventually if it solves other peoples
problems. I guess with the ways I have things setup I just don't need
virtualization.
Best of Luck.
