There is a big gap in our documentation in the area of virtualization.

The Handbook does not describe the caveats necessary for installing and using FreeBSD, Parallels, what is possible with Xen, etc..

In the short term, it would be good to add links to extranal documents on these topics to http://www.FreeBSD.org/docs.html but in the long term these are first class issues that should be well described in our project documentation.

I have a virtualization chapter that currently documents running 
FreeBSD on Parallels.  I will work on also describing running FreeBSD 
as a guest OS on VMWare before submitting it in 
handbook/virtualization/chapter.sgml.

We have a virtualization chapter now.  Forgot to close this after I 
checked it in last year.
