Don't be afraid to run -CURRENT on a laptop! Or even the graphics team's testing branch, which already has Haswell accelerated graphics support: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-base-graphics/tree/drm-i915-update-38 https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-base-graphics/tree/drm-i9... About 3rd party packages: FreeBSD ports are always current, binary packages are available as quarterly and current. With OpenBSD, it's all frozen on release, and you basically have to run -CURRENT to get recent packages. The OpenBSD team is working on a hypervisor too: http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20151101223132 http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20151101223132 ZFS + jails + DTrace though… :-)

Man, I definitely am scared to! I haven't quite figured out the environment though. It was such a relief just to get graphics working in the first place. I don't I have the time to put up with volatile nightly builds. But as I said, I have no clue how volatile CURRENT is. But with your suggestion, I'll have to read. I thought I heard something about OpenBSD wanting a native bhyve replacement. But vmm sounds awesome! Thanks for pointing that out!
