OpenBSD 4.6 i386 seems quite happy in VirtualBox 3.0.10 r54097 (Fedora 11 i686 as a host). No funnies at all, just boot the cd46.iso image and ftp install and no issues whatsoever (SMP and non-SMP VMs). 2009/11/1 TomC!E! BodEC!r tomas.bod...@gmail.com: After reading this

I've had decent luck with VirtualBox as of late, in previous versions VirtualBox would cause problems at install time bugging out when extracting packages. I've never had a problem with VMware though, but my experience is limited. I've been running it under ESXi 4.0 for a while and it's been very
