I was wondering if there are any alternatives to vmware, > commercial or freeware. I'm talking about a host version (I'm not talking > about guest OSes). Hey, There is a few out there for fbsd.. but the only one I have used with success is qemu. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/emulators/qemu/pkg-descr Its quite quick, but I feel it isn't as quick as vmware is/was. But it is something to look at, if its just simple things you need from it it will be fine, but anything CPU heavy I find its not great on. Another one that you might want to look at is bochs http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/emulators/bochs/pkg-descr I cant really say much about this one, I've tried it before but never got anywhere, so it might be good for what you need. Or it might be rubbish :) Anyways gotta do some work :) Bye. Grant.
