I do like vb and I ran it on vista, xp and Linux before I finally got 
enough computers + ssh and vnc. In my opinion in all honesty no one 
needs a virtual software as well as the freebsd kernel still had 
problems on VB last time i checked about 3 months ago or less. I also 
don't know what you mean by "supporting freebsd hosting" but if you mean 
to use a VB session as a serious freebsd server, I would think again. I 
wouldn't even do this with Linux although vb supports it enough. Anyways 
I hope it does work not or eventually if it solves other peoples 
problems.  I guess with the ways I have things setup I just don't need 
virtualization.

Best of Luck.
