I got an email from BlueVM today about new offers for their KVMs. I've been
running FreeBSD 10 on almost all my instances now and its working really well.
I did had some strange networking issues with VirtIO with the NIC but I changed
it to an Intel NIC and its working really well. Disk based VirtIO works out of
the box.

Anyways, they have this awesome deal: $3.99 USD / month  (1024 MB Guaranteed
RAM 3 CPU Core 1 IPv4 Address 30 GB Disk Space 1 TB Bandwidth) among others for
VPS. I thought I'd send this along and if someone is looking to run FreeBSD in
the cloud for cheap, this works well.

Note: NetBSD/FreeBSD work out of the box and can see all the cpu cores.
OpenBSD however does not. It only sees one cpu. OpenBSD devs werent the most
useful to help debug, so I just gave up. I prefer Free/NetBSD anyways...
