So, if you need to use ESXi/vSphere, then stay with 8.3 for the time being. There are KVM-drivers for FreeBSD 8.3 and 9.0 in the ports. Also, full, native support for MSFT-HyperV is coming to FreeBSD9. I wouldn'd bother with the free VMware-server. AFAIK, the latest vcenter has a web-console, so you don't need a Windows VM just to manage your virtualized FreeBSD instances. Hopefully, someone else will have to do all the heavy-lifting of maintaining all the virtualization-infrastructure. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
