oooo thanks a ton for these  links, that's awesome.
Also: virtualbox is just a virtualization solution. I have 16 gb ram, so I figured I'd give 4 of that to a bsd box so I could test my libraries and that on BSD as well.

That is very true, and a good point. Unfortunately, I was never able to find 
any tutorials or even manuals for getting started with the command line 
interface to Virtualbox. Still, it is definitely worth looking into.

I thought Virtualbox was controllable through the terminal so you don't have to 
use the GUI. From the manual:

"VBoxManage is the command-line interface to VirtualBox. With it, you can completely 
control VirtualBox from the command line of your host operating system. VBoxManage 
supports all the features that the graphical user interface gives you access to, but it 
supports a lot more than that. It exposes really all the features of the virtualization 
engine, even those that cannot (yet) be accessed from the GUI."

It's free so why not give it a try.

Fusion is $60 last I checked, at least for a personal license. No, virtualbox 
is not at all accessible. Someone once posted a quick tutorial on using it to 
set up a VM on Windows which you'd then import to the Mac. Still, when I gave 
it a try, audio in the vm was extremely low and nothing I did would bring it 
up. I find Fusion to be better, plus, of course, the preferences and other 
settings are accessible.

hello:
I had a quick question. I don't have the $100 something for vmware fusion, but 
I wanted to install BSD on my IMac. Anyone know if virtualbox is accessible, or 
if there are other choices?
Thanks,
