FreeBSD 6.2 was released 3 years ago and hasn't been supported for some time. FreeBSD 8.0 was released last November and includes VirtualBox client and host support (I haven't tried VBox so I don't know how stable it is). A better resource for VirtualBox on FreeBSD would be http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox Note that at this stage, I'm focussing on a FreeBSD 8 port (primarily because my main development box is 8). -- Peter Jeremy
