Hello Rich I have already installed kFreeBSD on a VM, but using VirtualBox. I am using VirtualBox both on desktop and on servers. If you need, the MATE Desktop Environment is fully working on kFreeBSD.
As for installing kFreeBSD, I have a couple of upgraded installations from 7.x to 8.x I should try with an 8.x installer and see what happens. You can download these ISO: Debian 8.4 Installer RC3 http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/jessie_di_rc3/kfreebsd-amd64/iso-cd/ Debian 8.4 Installer from last Jenkins build http://jenkins.kfreebsd.eu/jenkins/job/debian-installer_jessie-kfreebsd/ws/ Debian 7.11 Installer then apt-get upgrade to 8.x http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/latest-oldstable/kfreebsd-amd64/iso-cd/ (for apt-get upgrade you'll need an up to date apt/sources.list) I will also have a try with these iso and do an install from scratch, to test what happens.
