Re: Virtualization



On 6.2-RELEASE vmware compiled without problems from ports collection. You
just need kernel sources to be installed.
Actually in addition you need to retrieve a key from vmware to unlock the
vmware workstation. I was not able to find out a free solution longer than
for a testing period (of 30 days as far as I remember).
Anyhow for me connecting to a windows server using rdesktop was an alternative
to emulationg windows with wmware.

I was curious with the information coming out regarding FreeBSD 7 what
option are available for virtualizing other OS's using FreeBSD as a host.

I've been running several servers (Windows of various versions and a
Linux system) as virtual machines under VMWare Server for Linux for
about a year now. I remember there were some problems with trying to
get FreeBSD to run VMWare previously?

Is anyone virtualizing systems using a FreeBSD host, and if so what are
you using? Or is FreeBSD primarily just useful for being a virtual
guest if it isn't on the physical machine?
