This half-day tutorial brings users and sysadmins of BSD systems up to speed editing various files using Neovim, supported by LSPs (language server protocol). We learn how to configure the editor to turn it into a full blown IDE with similar functionality as VSCode. Developers will find support for a number of programming languages available, including debuggers, formatters, and linters. Sysadmins and users benefit from autoformatters, autocompletions, and indentations based on the file at hand. We cover the basic setup, installation, and configuration of LSPs and supporting plugins for BSD based systems.

FreeBSD, bhyve and ZFS make a great framework to build a Type-1 hypervisor with. It provides a well-supported platform that can be used to host all modern operating systems.
The half-day tutorial that is aimed at beginner to intermediate skills, will give participants a hands-on learning experience to build up a FreeBSD host to host various operating systems and perform expected management tasks.
Key areas of focus will include:
* Hardware selection
* Software configuration toolchain from ports/packages
* Priming a system ready for use
* Templates for various operating systems
* Network configurations
* Various guest storage types under ZFS and considerations needed based on workloads
* Guest console management via serial or VNC
* Installation and management of various guest operating systems
Participants that wish to engage in the practical aspects of the tutorial will be expected to attend with a laptop that has WiFi connectivity. Those that wish to follow along using a FreeBSD laptop are welcome with that type of configuration as long as they have the means to download software from the provided WiFi network and FreeBSD repositories.
