VB runs great here. I'm virtualizing Arch, Fedora and Slack12 on this, feels fast apart from F7 which feels extremely sluggish. Did not work with PC-BSD at all when selecting to run as FreeBSD. Slack12 runs like a dream, will install it for good after this test run in VB.

Similar experiece here. Windows XP, Sabayon, and SuSE all work fine in VBox
1.40, but for some reason no flavor of BSD does. I have no idea if anyone is
working on changing this or not.

I used to use VMware, but since it's not "free" I didn't really like it. VBox
is somewhere in between open and closed, but seems to work much better on my
machine(s) than QEMU.
