True. But look at South Africa. We have 2x 120Gb/s cables, one linking us to Europe and one to Japan, yet we still have poor international speeds, and retarded international caps (~$7 for 1GB on ADSL)
huh ? the shells get defined in passwd it has nothing to do with shadow (where the hashes of your passwords lie)
and one can edit that directly (root user) although it's not wise !
You can edit it directly, but it will have no effect whatsoever unless you run pwd_mkdb, so please, don't be '2 damn eager to reply'.
i don't want to get into the 'which fs' is best discussion
because i settled on XFS a long while ago and have been extremely happy since
untill XFS is fully supported i won't touch BSD on my home machine
Why exactly do you favor XFS so much?
also... autoconf/automake source code tends to be developped and hence compile cleanly on linux
while in FreeBSD it does require some serious fiddling
Not true. I've rarely had a problem compiling things that aren't in the ports tree manually (quite rare, considering there are 19,000+ ports) and those that I did have issues with always failed as they depended on certain Linuxism.
another odd point i think, could be wrong about this one
is that a lot of people learned the bash shell and the BSD's & solaris
tend to default to csh or tcsh (i like tcsh but i really loathe csh -- no tab completion ? )
offcorse a chsh can fix that, but most linux users have never had the need for that command and most don't even know it exists
You are wrong. FreeBSD defaults to tcsh, and csh is mearly a symlink. Not to mention if they are actually using a shell and not a GUI, they should know what chsh is.
yes one can edit passwd directly
but then you have to use vi instead of vim unless you install it with ports
What? You can't edit passwd directly, FreeBSD uses shadow passwords, use vipw. You also don't need to use VI. If you want a simple editor use ee

YOUR transfer protocol? I never knew I owned TCP.
$8000? Thats a crap lot for a machine, even a 8 core Xeon. What you got in there?
It is pretty safe to say that the Scientologists didn't hire Anonymous as a tiger team.
And I bought a game so that I could get DRM?
Ah, but it is not a car. Think of an encrypted file as the contents of your brain.
And you think that such a virus wouldn't be able to disable the kill switch?

pkg_add -r bash && chsh -s bash

done.

Install /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-f8
Why that processor, it's the biggest waste of money ever. I built my 8-core system for $1600 with a 9800GX2 and 8GB of RAM. Check out http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Extreme+X9770+%40+3.20GHz and see that even though two of them cost $450, the E5405 tops out the QX9770
I'm South Africa, so #30. But EU ftw :)
Whenever I think about China's size, I remember http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)
GDP (millions of USD):
China: 3,250,827
US: 13,843,825
Not really. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLAN_hopping and http://www.perihel.at/sec/mz/index.html
