i can understand the problems with a separate OS partition, which would
force you to reboot, but with a separate machine the only trouble i can
see is having one more box around -- NFS and diskless really help a lot
for everything else. The system (if you use a 3.1S/3.2 should be
relatively stable so you should not need to upgrade for a reasonably
long time.

Someone suggested vmware and run a FreeBSD system under Linux on it ?
