   As it turned out I found a pre-made version of Free BSD that I can run   
   in Virtual Box   
      
      
   For now , this is about all the experimenting I will probably do.   
      
   Even though I have setup Virtual Box to share an external folder I   
   cannot see it when I'm booted to Free BSD nor can I figure out how to   
   mount that folder.   
      
      
   Back to poking around now.
