Technically it pretty much allows you to install any OS you want.
Windows is the most widely used, but it's also useful for running
linux/bsd instances.

Hello all,
I’m very new to list, and still very new to screen readers and Macs.
I was wondering what is VMFusion? Is a virtual program for Windows?
From what I can understand, I thought emulators or virtual programs
is not accessible? Or is there an solution?
Thanks!

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.

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,
