Sorry, should have been more precise: - latest versions of VMWare Workstation (4.5 + ) are not supported (and most probably dont work) under FBSD as host. I'll have to try my 4.5 key in version 3 ;).. oh,hang on, mine is for a Windows Vmware Workstation..... dont you just *love* it? <G> Yes, qemu is much slower than VMware. - VM Server isn't supported either. I am not so sure it would be as simple as mapping the linux commands to bsd ones... the fact that it needs the *mod linux commands implies they use linux kernel modules... which I would say are not compatible with BSD. I'd love to be proven wrong :)
