    hrm. curious. kinda like the bsd-equivalent of a linux distribution ... since it is freebsd-based it should have some usable applications, and seeing that it is running a well-known desktop environment is a goodness. i've never used vmware *player* for anything--vmware server and vmware fusion have been the way that i've gone. it doesn't look like they have a test-run medium like other os have lately.

    Well, they do have a Boot only CD and Boot only USB, but I prefer VMware Player. They have a downloadable functioning image (Version 7.0.2) for VMware, but something is wrong with their link. If you do further investigation on it, let me know what you think. In the mean time, I will continue to try to install a version on VMware.

    *Update: Found a VMware image with Version 7.0.1 - downloading...
