Hullo all, I've got a Mac Pro I use for streaming media to an AppleTV and want to = run a FreeBSD VM on the spare resources. I'm planning on using = VirtualBox and have seen in more recent versions that it offers various = paravirtualisation interfaces = (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10.html#gimproviders). Setting up = a new VirtualBox VM for various Linux distros seems to select different = paravirtualisation interfaces, but nothing but Default for FreeBSD. To install and use FreeBSD 10.2 in VirtualBox 5, am I best off to stick = with the defaults, or can I gain better performance/support by choosing = a certain paravirtualisation interface? And if so which one? I know = that GENERIC has Hyper-V support, so I=E2=80=99m wondering if that would = be a sensible option=E2=80=A6 Many thanks, Ben=
