I just switched to FreeBSD here (after 8+ years on Linux) in October. For a 
number of reasons related to journaling filesystems and the lack of support 
thereof in the Linus kernel, etc, I decided to go to a different code base 
altogether, one that I knew had good foundations, a relatively organized way 
of dealing with patches and features and upgrades, and wasn't fragmented all 
over the map. Hence, FreeBSD.

Now I want to use VMware again, but I need a bit of a jump start from you 
guys on what I should read, etc, so that I can understand (1) how the 
Linuxulator works, (2) what's the deal with 6.x vs 7.x, (3) how the VMWare 
LKM code works in FreeBSD, and (4) how do I help to fix this bugger?
