Good afternoon,
I would like to use FreeBSD as my primary OS. I have a couple of obstacles that googling isn't answering. So before I proceed imprudently and loses a lot of data in the process I would ask for answers for the three questions following:
a) My system has 2.5TB of data online in ext4 fs's. Can I mount ext4 in FBSD for the purpose of moving the data in FBSD? If so, can you direct me to the link?
b) May I set my own compiler flags for my cpu, and reliably have BSD rebuild itself from source?
c) Win4BSD claims that you can run Windows as a guest in FreeBSD as a host. Is this claim viable, or is their another VM Host for BSD solution that the community is using? I've done qemu before, but I would like less pain in setup and management. I need win emulation because the accounting software is not wine friendly.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Dave
