Just in case you are interested, PC-BSD 1.3 was released today http://www.pcbsd.org/?p=releasenotes Should make an easier transition into *BSD than say straight into FreeBSD. ChangeLog

2006 coming to a close, here is ma stuff.... Here is one of my ubuntu-ce desktops http://justinconover.com/screenshots/desktop-ubuntu-ce1.jpg http://justinconover.com/screenshots/ubuntu-ce2-beryl.jpg OpenSolaris 53 JDS build 55 http://justinconover.com/screenshots/opensolaris_53.jpg

This might help, at least what I do with a new freebsd box http://blog.justinconover.com/2006/12/30/free/ You can also look at this for other stuff: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...&hl=freebsd Since your a KDE user, you might take a dig at this site too http://freebsd.kde.org/ You don't have to build from src, I just like doing ports instead of binary's

Its real and looks nice bro ;) https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=38144

If you are fairly new to linux or *nix in general and wanted something out side of Linux, I would go with freebsd, or you can check out desktopbsd or pcbsd. Solaris learning curve might be a bit higher.

Oh, this is like a flame war waiting to happen ;) To me:.... Linux = more desktop'ish stuff that makes things easier like automount ipods and what not and having aiglx/beryl/xgl/compiz type stuff. Not saying it doesn't make a good server, however the other two make awesome servers too. */BSD = Can make a good desktop and now has hal too, just don't have beryl readily available, still can be done... :) http://wikitest.freebsd.org/ModularXorg/ Makes a rock solid server and the ports and os/kernel layer is all intergrated. Solaris = Can make a good desktop and now Nevada (solaris 11ish/beta) has hal. Solaris 10 and beyond is just flurishing with awesome goodness. I would use it for a Server first B) One of the things that drives me nuts with Linux is abi/api compatibility. Solairs/BSD you can have an old driver laying around from 1946 and it will work..... Linux and old driver from say 4 months ago, wont... I know I extended that last bit, but eh not to far off from the truth it seems some times

Cool, yeah I wasn't sure if they used it or not, guess that answers that ;)

Well, this isn't a theme or icon. It is for a program with a built in icon ;) I assumed you were talking about the synaptic program and all the buttons it uses whilst you are in it right? If so, than dropping it in a theme/icon location wouldn't work. That would be like expecting the refresh button in firefox to change because you added <some-icon-theme> to gnome. Know what I mean? I could be wrong though, I'm not a theme guru by any means :unsure:

I think the livna ones have a hack to make the install actually work, that might simply be for the kernel includes anyway which is easy, but it is also easier to "yum install/update blah" than www.ati.com / download / unpack/install . blah blah blah ;)

This might not work so make a cp :)

You can run those in gnome, you just have to kill X afterwards. Kernel is fine, I assume your currently running the latest 2868 and that is the latest drivers from livna too. rpm -qa kmod\* http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/repodata/ http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/repodat...1.2868.fc6.html

You need to disable a few things in your xorg.conf Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "False" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "off" EndSection Run these commands ati-fglrx-config-display enable ati-fglrx-config-display enabledri Also, check your kernel version, do you have i586 or i686 rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"|grep kernel|sort

You wont find me through *2 ;)

Good deal. Yes I work for Sprint ;) k/bts or k/bps?

That is always good news, doesn't look like something I would play, but sure many will. I'm more of an ET/TrueCombat gamer.

A lot of Devs/kernel hackers and such left when Novell took over Suse ;) Go Jeremy, I applaud you.

Try 0000 first as a test, if you haven't. If you can't find it or still have problems. Call Sprint *2 I believe and ask them. If you still have a problem. If you want you can't IM me your number and I can see if I can look it up.

http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy Seems to be a better method than automatix/easy, just tells you things you might use/need and how to install and if there are any extra tidbits you might need to know.

Is it Sprint? It will probably be 0000 The user guide or some documentation should have it in there. Look around the bluetooth section and pairing.

Ooops.... I was playing win NVU and it apparently didn't like my dir's so it wiped them....... Its back up. It isn't the fastest thing in the world, but wasn't horrible on amd64 3200 + 2gb ram.

lg3d 1.0 released... http://justinconover.com/screenshots/lgscreen-0-0.png

http://www.dreamlinux.com.br/english Found one I haven't tried that looks interesting..... ;)

Very cool. DesktopBSD 1.6 should be pretty nice when it is released. Based off of FBSD 6 http://www.desktopbsd.net

FreeBSD uses UFS2 for a file system. ufs-linux is really old and hasn't been updated for a couple years, plus it is only read.....support http://ufs-linux.sourceforge.net/ Do you have only one pc at home? Is FreeBSD/Linux/Windows all on the same box? If so, FreeBSD can mount fat32/ntfs and you can write to it. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/07/05...BSD_Basics.html
