I've been trying get ANY FreeBSD to work on the Supermicro 5013C-MT server plaform. It wedgies at the bootscreen. I've offered a server to the one that fixes it, no takers. (offer valid to submitters only;)
The internet has no government, no constitution, no laws, no
rights, no police, no courts. Don't talk about fairness or
innocence, and don't talk about what should be done. Instead,
talk about what is being done and what will be done by the
amorphous unreachable undefinable blob called "the internet
user base." -Paul Vixie
CPU architectures. i.e.: 6800 vs 8080 to 68030 vs 80386. An early form was SWTPC vs Altair or C64 vs TRS-80. The end of the era was Macintosh vs IBM-PC. Also see Harvard vs. von Neumann Architecture (obe.ibme.utoronto.ca/presentations/Microcontrolle r/sld007.htm)
"1. Partitioning. Why in the fucking hell do you have to partition TWICE? Why do you need a standard partition that can be seen by other OSes and then those weird ass partitions within that partition that only BSD can see? How is that useful? Here's the answer: IT ISN'T. Get into the 21st century and realize that your stupid partitioning scheme should have disappeared with the 'ed' line editor."
Because I may want more than 4 partitions/slices. You know, for/, swap,/tmp,/usr,/usr/home,/var....
"2. Lack of LVM support"
I guess that's why you have a issue #1.
"3. Serious instability."
Right. Did you send in a bug report? No? "Fucking tragic."
"4. The use of a non-standard make."
I did not know there is an International Standard Make Standards Body.
It's slow on Firefox/FreeBSD/Xorg. On Firefox/Win2k it's fine. I ran top on the FreeBSD box (CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (1808.81-MHz 686-class CPU)) and it looks like Xorg was taking half the CPU.
Where I work we're totally jived about Zimbra and are looking to use it to help handle a 10,000 users.
It does amaze me how few "techs" don't know shit about electricty. Every so often I pull out the old logic probe and start poking around in a box... scares the crap outta em!
I'd still have I5.net, jh.org and a whole bunch of other domains that I let expire because I never thought they would be worth anything. I think I still have most of the parts to the old images.slashdot.org server... Pentium 90MHz!

No match for "GROKSTER4G.COM" You know they'll want this one if a few months ;)

10GHz: you got a license to operate at 10GHz?
I guess they didn't like the entry I submitted: http://bsdbox.us/
That sounds like a bunch of flyingcroc.com!

I long for the days of "Sixers" vs "Eighters" flame fests. But those were at 300 baud.

No, it's not linux.

So, linux DOES suck?
So you write in Perl?

Washington State has Section 19: BILL TO CONTAIN ONE SUBJECT. No bill shall embrace more than one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title.
It's worked well for us for over a century.
In Seattle read that last line as, "the highway demostrates the uselessness of that vehicle."
That T-1, is that a 24xDS0, a PRI with 23B1D or a P-P Clear Channel... and which end is the clock source?

Only someone that is trying to teach themselves Quantum Electrodynamics would come up with this.
So? I bought my ham radio callsign (W7COM) from the FCC. I just found /. about 8 years before you did.
I did have a 1st class radiotelephone ticket in another life. Email me when you pass.

Good luck, and don't stay a NCT for 12 years like I have :)

"this sig is looking for Bioinformatics or DBA work in Seattle, especially at the UW, since our grant ran out"
Contact me will. joe@nethead.com
I think M$ has upgraded that to "Evil."
"Have an extra class license myself."

Then why are you asking a lazy NCT like me?
