>Description:
There is a big gap in our documentation in the area of virtualization.

The Handbook does not describe the caveats necessary for installing and using FreeBSD, Parallels, what is possible with Xen, etc..

In the short term, it would be good to add links to extranal documents on these topics to http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs.html but in the long term these are first class issues that should be well described in our project documentation.
