I do know what you mean there. After getting pretty much everything else I wanted working well I looked for a VM solution and was a little disappointed in the dev's attitude toward VM tech in general. I understand it but don't have to like it. :-)

I've used Linux for years and am only recently checking out BSD so I just kept Debian around for most of my servers.

I do like the new, very simple, httpd in OpenBSD though, been playing with that a lot lately.

If you watch the the ruBSD 2013 interview video with Theo de Raadt[1] at the 6:36, he states that they should take a shot at dealing with modern x86 VMs. That gives me quite a bit of hope along with the work on vmware related drivers in each release.

Thanks, I will check that out. Based on some comments he made in the past I thought hell would freeze over before Theo went that route! I can't find the original kernel trap post at the moment but it was pretty, um, Theo. But I think it's at least 7-8 years old now so I guess times change.

You're probably thinking of this post, I would guess? http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=119318909016582&w=2

The x86 landscape has changed a bit between that post and the recent video linked upthread, though (e.g. addition of a bunch of hardware protection instructions aimed at virtualization), which might have led him to reevaluate.
