Yep. (Well, had to dual boot anyway, but using Lubuntu as my main OS.) I'd rather not get into the details of why here.
(see

I've tried to set up a FreeBSD VM for myself from the install CD, and I just couldn't get it going in the way I wanted... my machine doesn't have the specs to compile tons of stuff (& building things from source almost always goes wrong for me) and all I could do with FreeBSD in any case was a basic install and then use the resulting system exactly as it was. I simply could not find a way to add software to the machine, see what software was on it, or even update the machine's existing software... all the suggestions I found on the Internet failed one way or another.
I'm not looking to use FreeBSD as a server anyway. What I want to make work is the latest available FreeBSD release (at whatever time I attempt to first install it), with a graphical environment* & my favorite applications. It would be quite helpful to me if I can have proper experience with, and a VM of, the most popular *BSD distro (aside Mac OS X of course).
Oddly I didn't have very much better luck even starting with a pre-built VM that already had a desktop environment (again, I could use it "as-is" but getting other software onto it was still a problem.)
Any advice for me for next time I decide to try it again?
* Please not GNOME 3. My favorite desktop environments are LXDE and Openbox, but I can work with KDE3/Trinity, XFCE, & fvwm. I'm fine with the KDE 4+ desktop environment as well, but as much as I like the Oxygen look & certain individual KDE apps.. for the same reason I cannot use OS X > 10.7.x, let's keep the actual DE of KDE in a VM

Well a sandbox will know everything that's written through it... so am I misunderstanding what you're wondering about?
This link looks very interesting to me for a number of reasons. Thanks!

Oh, so it doesn't intercept any non-HTTP requests at all? I'm not aware of how ABE is implemented internally.
