Hi Mario, the reason that bridged networking is not available for FreeBSD is simply that it is not implemented yet. The remote desktop feature is not available for Linux in the OSE version either. Look here for more information http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions. We do not provide binary releases for FreeBSD and the RDP feature is not open source.
