xhyve is essentially a port of FreeBSD’s bhyve to OSX.

Even if you have on there something that you think anyone should know, there may be that one person out there who doesn’t know, who somehow finds your blog, and you help them. Anyway, this will be a technical blog. I am self taught (no collge) so I am sure there will be lots of people correcting me, which is good, because then I will learn :) Yes this blog is using Jekyll.
