    Problem with a motherboard.

    I have a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-UD2H motherboard with Realtek 8111C Ethernet chip. It works flawlessly for me. Looking through re I don't see your particular chip listed, though.

    we should support opera

    Firefox fears that if it misbehaves, you will come and edit it to submission. :D

    we should support opera

    Like which ones? I remember all these addons bloating Firefox even more, becoming a general PITA when you have too many of them loaded. Nothing now, I managed to view your gallery, but it still keeps me warning that Opera is not fully supported. Google doesn't seem to like Opera in...

    we should support opera

    True, but this is useless to know: The pages still don't work in Opera, no matter whose fault it is. Actually, this is what makes me wanna switch to Firefox occasionally -- lots of these cool and super-modern pages, like Facebook, don't work well in Opera. But whenever I start Firefox I go...

    suggested applications for X

    Shift-Insert to paste, you mean. :) Cool, didn't know these two worked with terminals -- I'm too used to the middle button way already. :D

    suggested applications for X

    Welcome to X Selection. :) You can copy&paste while in X by just marking the text you want to copy with your mouse, then simply switch to the destination window and press the middle button on your mouse -- bam, text pasted. (On today's mice that usually means you press the scrolling wheel.)...

    Tell me I'm blind / clueless but...

    I suppose it's worth mentioning that even if you choose to install a DE during sysinstall, it still won't be launched automatically when you boot into your new system. You'll have to set it up manually -- which is covered in the Handbook and the links you mentioned.

    [college degree] CIS vs. CS

    Hehe. Actually, I'm currently going to a heavily maths-oriented school -- in fact, it's got "Mathematics and Physics" in its name, and Computer Science is taught at very theoretical level (algorithms behind everything, analyzing algorithms behind everything, the theory behind algorithms, tons...

    Typing Test

    You type 486 characters per minute You have 91 correct words and you have 1 wrong words Yay. It's meaningless, though -- it's braindead to just copy the words -- when I have to think what I'm going to type (like on a forum or in a terminal), I'm much slower. :)

    what would be the best way for me to learn freebsd?

    Perhaps some text-to-speech software? Although I don't know how that works on stuff like commands. But then, I heard of blind people using similar software for coding. It all depends on what your condition is -- I'm not a doctor, so I wouldn't know. I think killasmurf posted a good...

    my observations as a new user here about software packages

    Well, as has already been said -- FreeBSD (and neither OpenSolaris) doesn't target the desktop: they're primarily server operating systems. Unlikely Linux, which has no clear goal and tries to be an OS for everything, FreeBSD is aiming on servers. That said, with some effort you can easily...

    HP LaserJet P1005 under 8.0-RC2

    I asked on the mailing list and it was actually rather simple: just cat the firmware into /dev/usb/2.2.1 (in my particular case, that is).

    HP LaserJet P1005 under 8.0-RC2

    Hello, I had my HP P1005 printer working just fine under 7.2-RELEASE, but I just updated to 8.0-RC2 and the driver doesn't seem to like the new USB stack. I was using the foo2xqx driver -- with this driver, the firmware needs to be sent to the printer each time it is turned on, like this...

    What the banana cream pie is going on with 8.0-RC2?

    It's great that RC2 is out already, but I think the original question still holds: What's going on? I'm not saying that it should be pushed out of the door as soon as possible, not at all -- I expect it to be a great release and I believe that my expectations will be met -- and I understand...

    Can't boot Windows XP after installing FreeBSD

    This happened to me when I was experimenting with FreeBSD's bootmgr and trying to dual-boot with Vista. For some reason, installing bootmgr cleared the bootable flag from the Windows slice and Windows didn't like that. I booted a Fedora live CD, ran fdisk, gave the Win slice bootable flag and...

    How do FreeBSD users LaTeX?

    Also in vim, you can just type :!latex source.tex to compile, later on it's just :! and the Up arrow which will recall the latex command from history. Or you can write a Makefile and use the :make command. :e As for completion, there are completion plugins for vim, although I'm not a big fan...
