bhyve Using bhyve to run Kali

Greeting! I am considering taking a class locally in Cyber Security. This class will make use of the Kali distribution. I see a good opportunity to explore bhyve here, and I am hoping to install bhyve on my 14.4-RELEASE system, and then install a Kali Linux distribution as the guest software on that VM. It's pretty much all new to me, so I would like to know if anyone has done this, and if you have any tips for a novice. Any help and suggestion would be really appreciated.

I have never used Kali, but I suspect that it makes use of a graphic environment. I don't mind a command line interface at all -- that is how I do most of my FreeBSD work. But if a remote graphics setup can be made, that's icing on the cake. Note: By "remote" I mean something like what I presently do for some work: I write VHDL code from time to time, and use ghdl to compile and gtkwave to view simulations. I view those simulations on my MacBook air by running a (Quartz) xterm window with a command line like: xterm -e ssh -X foo@bar gtkwave design.ghw design.gtkw. I don't know if that could be done with Kali, and if not, I can cope with the CLI.

I do the remote viewing on the Mac because my FreeBSD systems are "headless", and I don't often need graphics. I run gimp this same way and it gets the job done.

Any pointers or suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
