I have a FreeBSD 7 release I wanted to use as a host for virtual machines. What software is anyone else using to host virtual machines under FreeBSD?

I'd just like to here what has worked, or what has not worked. I find it easier to find a solution asking for real world experiences.

Thanks for your help.

>> In my honest opinion, there aren't many good ways of doing what I think you're wanting. VMware is a no go for now, or probably any time soon. I don't think virtualbox is running on freebsd yet. You could use jails, for just other freebsd installs, not really a VM so to speak. bochs is crap for this purpose, simics doesn't run on it worth a crap either. If I were you, I would use something else. say a hypervisor running on bare hardware, ie: VMware ESX, or similar. I would say xen if it was ready, but I don't think it is.

Mike,

Thanks for the quick response. I had seen that there are a lot of non-working virtual machine implementations. It seems a shame that as well as FreeBSD runs there are no ways to run a VM on it.
