If you having problems with FreeBSD's native linux emulation then you need to consult the handbook on how to set it up (it normally can be as simple as either pkg_add -rv linux_base or cd/usr/port/emulators/linux_base && make clean install). I use it all the time and it works perfectly and transperently even in a server situation (such as hlds half life's linux binary only server). Now if only we can get this with windows binaries (there are many more technical problems with getting win32 binaries to be emulated tho).
Even with my intermediate experience with mysql and php it would not be too hard for me to write some basic scripts to do these kinds of things. Simple user name password authentication then submit the entry into the database. It can be as simple as possible. Several hours of work could get a working prototyped hammered out. If you understand mysql and php it should be a breeze, for those who enjoy this kinda of thing.
Combine these synthetic vocals with some randomized instrumentals and pipe it into your 'hitablity` algorith (covered here and here)
and generate endless pop music!
What powersupply are you using? I bet if you tried a high end powersupply you might not have those "problems". If you have tried more than one powersupply which have you tried?
You have to have somewhere to swap (with windows, its possible to get buy w/o a swap partition in *nix, but still not good). Any flash disk will wear out rather quickly when it handles alot of writes. So harddrives are necessary for desktops. Embedded appliances can get away using a flashdisk tho.
Damn thats a good idea. I have 5 computers in this room and they are all always on, and ive got two rather large speakers, i could easily rig up some kind of noise canclation. Who ever said phyics was not useful?
FreeBSD still has a text based install that would scare away any normal user and anybody with an MSCE.
X based install blow. I dont need a pretty 32bit 1024x768 logo and graphics to install an os. I want to do it quickly. I would also prefer that the installer work with older hardware and not require 32 or 64mb of ram. FreeBSD runs just fine as a httpd/router/firewall/dhcpd on my P75 box w/ 16mb ram.
Lets see, Gaim 0.71 came out and as soon as i noticed it was out my ports tree contained the make files. Firebird 0.7 and Thunderbird 0.3 came out and they were updated the same day with in 12 hours i think. The ports tree is very well maintained.
I understand that it uses inetd, but it is a very impressive feat of awkish skill to pull this off. It makes a great use of inetd, but you are right awk has no way of making network connections as its *only* (please dont kill me) a text parser. Inetd is arguably much more efficent then having to code by hand the networking parts of your program. I'm no perl expert but i would say a shell script and inetd would possibly make a faster web server than some perl script, but then again what do i know?
a)
1. Find name of package you need
2. Find the package
3. Download package you need
4. Build package you need
5. Find and download any and all dependencies (the real time consumption)
6. make install
The order is more like this.
a) to build from source
1. Find name of package (either via `cd/usr/ports && make search name=packagename`) or though browsing the online ports collection.
2. cd to the port dir
3. `make install clean`
b) to get pre-compiled source
1. Find name of package (either via `cd/usr/ports && make search name=packagename`) or though browsing the online ports collection.
2. `pkg_add -rv packagename`
For example I can install kde in either 5-10 mins or 2-3 hours. The FreeBSD has many more options and is very powerful. A look at the ports man page and all of the pkg_* tool's man pages would revel alot of extra usage.
I made $5 betting this one guy in phyics class that water didnt conduct electricity. He thought that I was some kind of a moron, and took the bet up. I laughed at him for the next 10 mins while he tried to push 6v across any amount of distilled water until he finally gave up, and reluctently handed me a $5 bill.
I've never used *BSD, but all the propoganda I've read says that it has a built in Linux emulator. Wouldn't that make it easy to port?
FreeBSD has something that is even better than linux emulation. It natively understands and maps linux system calls to their FreeBSD equivilent, which in the earlier days of linux allowed FreeBSD to execute linux binarys faster than linux could. This doesnt make it much easier to port over drivers because drivers are not normal simple executable files.
Also, why bother using a card that requires some special driver? Every run of the mill Ethernet card that I've thrown in a box works just fine without any tweaking or downloading special drivers.
Why bother ever using anything onboard with this attitude? No need to use that crazy onboard ide when i could add in a nice 3ware 8 port card...

Updates on the only items that HAVEN'T run linux so far:
- Porting linux to a kitchen blender
- Porting linux to a carrot
- Porting linux to the wart on my grandmothers knee
Those platforms are all supported by netbsd!
Do not fix what isn't broken. If only I could follow that simple proverb.

This probably only applys in a few states w/ either the same sales tax or no sales tax, but still worth a shot.

Thank you that post just brightened up my day to finally see that "BSD sux" post to be trounced into the ground.
