I'm a die hard FreeBSD user.

For the past 10 years (since version 2.8 was released) it's been in
production on all of my servers.

Now however, I'm forced to use linux as the host OS for Vmware as there
currently seems to be no current support for FreeBSD as the Host OS for
popular VM applications.

Is there hope for FreeBSD as a popularly supported virtual machine host, or
am I stuck in the multiple disappointments of linsux land.


Sincerely,
