I run VMs for FreeBSD (9 & 10), NetBSD (5.2 & 6), OpenBSD (latest), Linux
(Ubuntu, Fedora), and Solaris. I'm in the procees of moving them from my
desktop to a dedicated server. I've already moved over FreeBSD 10. I'd be
happy to provide accounts.

Note that I've been unable to install Solaris on KVM (the network won't
work), so if anybody could give me pointers that would be awesome. In the
meantime I'm stuck with running it in VMWare on my desktop, but VMWare keeps
randomly stealing my keyboard inputs, so I can't keep it running all the
time.

I'd love to run AIX for testing, but I don't have the space or power budget
for a POWER box.
