A quick visit to www.vmware.com taught me it is not supported. However, a lot of stuff can run on BSD in linux compat mode.

&lt;p&gt;Someone maintained a linux compat port that supported running it under linux compatibility.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Too bad linux seems to get all the hype.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've used both linux and BSD, and I liked BSD a lot more than linux.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then again for me it doesn't really matter, since we are a native windows environment.&lt;/p&gt;

Passing</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s true. But there was a time when VMWare actually worked on FreeBSD and I used to rely on it quite heaviliy (I think it was up to VMWare 2.0). I do not remember if it just worked or if it was indeed a platform officially supported by VMWare. But given this fact, I consider it even more unfortunate that it does not run on BSD...&lt;/p&gt;
