如果你想尝试FreeBSD， 但手上没有恰当的硬件，或没有时间折腾桌面，那么VirtualBSD可以满足你的要求。VirtualBSD是基于FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE的一个VMware应用（也可用 VirtualBox 2.x创造新虚拟机），采用Xfce 4桌面环境，包含大量可使用的应用程序。该版本基于 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE 和 Xfce 4.6 桌面环境。
VirtualBSD is a desktop ready FreeBSD 8.1 RELEASE, in the form of a VMware appliance, based on the Xfce 4.6 ">Desktop Environment. Many of the most common and useful applications are ready to run, and the desktop has been styled to resemble a certain OS from Cupertino.
Intended Audience
VirtualBSD is clearly aimed at people with VMware Player (or better) who:
1) Have never tried FreeBSD so far;
2) Wanted to, but didn't have the right hardware;
3) Used FreeBSD in the past, but have since moved to a different OS and are struck by nostalgia from time to time;
Installed Applications
The full list of the installed applications would be way too long (and boring) but chances are you will find VirtualBSD very functional right out of the box. Still, here's some of the most notable inclusions:
Firefox 3.6.13 (and plugins)
Thunderbird 3.17
Pidgin 2.7.7
Xchat 2.8.8
OpenOffice.org 3.2.1
Gimp 2.6.11
VLC 1.1.5
Transmission 2.13
Miro a.k.a. Democracy Player 3.5
Samba 3.4.9
CUPS 1.4.5
Also, since we wanted to "get social" with this release, we've added a handful of SSBs (Site Specific Browsers) for favorites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and many more -- better yet, you'll be able to add your own with just a few clicks!
