==== Description ====
Here, I proceed to install FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE onto a VirtualBox guest machine with a Linux host. I installed the system, then installed X (the GUI display system), IceWM (a window manager), Slim (GUI login screen), and the VirtualBox Guest Additions (so I can take full advantage of the graphics and other features). I also installed Firefox and finally the XFCE destop environment.
Forgive me for one thing. For the most part, you won't see a mouse cursor because I buggered up by not disabling mouse integration on the Virtual Machine. I had OBS not record the mouse cursor because in my experience it caused headaches in the past. I did fix this later on in the video.
Also, NEVER use the root account (superuser) for everyday activities! Only access the root account (using 'su' or 'sudo') if you need to make system changes like installing and removing software!
