Until someone comes out of the woodwork and starts working on VM host support for FreeBSD, this is the best we're going to get.
That's all right, of course. My challenge is that I really need to limit the number of operating systems I support. Right now I am fine with Free and Windows; adding Linux into the mix is just a pain. Maybe ESX is easy enough so that it wouldn't upset things too much. But then I need new hardware.

For the moment I'm just sticking to multiple machines. It saves a lot of time and irritation, and I already have the hardware. It works well enough for now.
