From: Joe Abley [mailto:jab...@clear.co.nz] http://www.connectix.com/html/connectix_virtualpc.html But this only runs on the Mac, right? Seems like it. I think that Jason was only commenting on the coolness factor when compared to VMWare. Although I haven't tried it, VMWare seems damn cool while still maintaining somewhat reasonable performance because it ISN'T an emulator. -Charles - Thinking of installing Linux just to try the VMWare beta.

So, add your voice and send them some mail... The latest update which has arrived in my inbox states the following in the changelog: o Support for FreeBSD 3.0 and 3.1 guest operating systems o Support for OpenBSD and BSD/OS 4.0 guest operating systems (experimental) Which is still not as good as host support, but it indicates they at least are willing to support us. Perhaps down the track we'll see FreeBSD host support.
