But I use Opera?? And It needs to work with youtube, without crashing
and without install headaches. 'cd /usr/ports/www/flash; make install
clean; exit;' then open browser to youtube.com and go. No library
shuffle or libmap configuring.

Yes, and they have done their part. Now it's FreeBSD's turn to
integrate the changes needed to the kernel into the kernel to make
Dom0 support work. Linux has it, Solaris has it. NetBSD has it. Mac
has it? FreeBSD does not have it. Server virtualization is the next
big thing and FreeBSD has nothing going for it in this respect... Not
even VMware or any of the other big players works with FreeBSD as a
host OS.

It is off-topic... don't really care at this point.
