Hi guys,
I am interested in running VMWare. It is available to run on Linux as your
host operating system, however I would like to use FreeBSD as the host
operating. I was wondering since so many linux apps and utilities run on BSD
would it be possible to run VMWare also? If not what possible options would
I have if any?
Regard,
Lee Sweeney
I haven't tried it yet, but I'd say
you are "in luck"
